Hi,
Did you mean that two differnt (RACF) user should be able to update two different members at the same time from a single PDS? |

Yah Anuj ...
Basically two different jobs are submitting at the same time using the same PDS but updating different members. So to stop failures of these two jobs my peers wanted to give the serial access to the PDS. But I am unaware of how to do it. |

If different members are getting updated, there should not be any problem (DISP=SHR)..did I misunderstood something...  |

Hi,
Please show the JCL you are using & the error message/s you get, when you try to update. |

And

| REASON CODE=00000030 |
has the following explanation
| Quote: |
| An attempt was made to open a partitioned data set (PDS) for OUTPUT,DISP=SHR. The PDS is already open in this condition, and a DCB is already open for output to the data set. The data set might be on the same system or on another system that is sharing the volume. Access was not serialized before the attempt to open the data set. |
Things should have worked with DISP=SHR..( ), try making the dataset a PDSE rather than a PDS. . . |

How to do the last one then? I already have my PDS in SHR mode. And I cannot make it a PDSE. |

| Serialized in the context mentioned means Enqueue and Dequeue on the data set to prevent simultaneous update problems. This typically requires an assembler routine to do the enqueue and dequeue -- and can cause other problems. You really need to find a way NOT to do this if you can. |

| PDS has never supported two processes writing two different members at the same time. It can't because a PDS is just a sequential file with a directory at the beginning. If two processes write at the same time, the last one overwrites the first one. People used to lose data doing what you are trying to do but now the system recognizes it and gives a 213 abend. PDSE may support concurrent updates (not sure). Serialization means ENQ, but the simple way to do that is DISP=OLD on the whole data set. DISP=SHR will always result in a 213 for the 2nd processes trying to open for write. if you must have jobs updating the same PDS, use your own ENQ scheme or use ISPF services to do the writes since it already has serialization built in. Suggest you use the same scheme ISPF uses (see ISPF books for more info - it is probably there somewhere) |
