IDCAMS REPRO - default DISP ?

Hi,

I was using a REPRO to copy one VSAM file to another. the INDATASET is used by CICS online. I am getting RC 12 with message:

IKJ56225I DATA SET XXXXX ALREADY IN USE, TRY LATER
IKJ56225I DATA SET IS ALLOCATED TO ANOTHER JOB OR USER

Does IDCAMS/REPRO try to open the INDATASET/OUTDATASET with default DISP of OLD?

Is there a way to override this?

Rahul.

It could be CICS allocating with DISP=OLD ............. but ...........

Have you tried by allocating the input cluster to a DD with disp of SHR.
