I've been making help-style web pages since about 2000, when my 5-year old daughter pushed me to learn a bit about html. A small group of us started a web server running on MVS at work, creating MVS doc web pages with things like JCL examples, etc. that we as sysprogs could point users to

This seems like normal behavior to me. As long as the first job is running, the enq is held. Once the job ends, the enqueue is released. As of z/OS 2.2(?) there is a "enque demotion" that will reduce the enque to shr once the need for old is removed. I am sorry I don't have time to look up the
