time(the shareption is (2,3）,record length is 500,CISize=27000），But
system sometime report file status 93 -resource not available.

What form of enqueue / dequeue do you use to ensure the writes or rewrites don't happen to the same CI at the same time?

Hello,

If you have multiple batch processes writing a VSAM file, you need to be able to ensure nobody updates the CI you're writing into; that's the whole point of enqueue and dequeue. They are used a lot in CICS because that's where multiple writes to a VSAM file are done mostly -- but if you're doing it in batch, you'd better be doing something similar or you'll have problems. You may have to write an Assembler subroutine to handle this.
