I think the real question here is: Why don't you have a SYSPLEX? There is = little to no cost involved, and many benefits. >>> Frank Swarbrick <frank.swarbr...@efirstbank.com> 8/6/2009 12:15 PM >>> <SNIPPAGE> We're slowly coming to this realization. We don't have a Sysplex, and shar= ing PDSE's, while it works somewhat, doesn't work that great. My personal = libraries are PDSEs and if I am logged on to both PROD and DEV at the same = time I have to make sure I am not trying to edit members in the same PDSE i= n both environments. Blech. I thought PDSEs were the future? <SNIPPAGE> If you set this up correctly, you will get Record Level Locking for VSAM which will give you some benefits that you lost in moving from VSE. It is something to think about, if you are heavily using VSAM with onlines and batch.
