First off, thanks for all who chimed in with ideas.  Here's what we found out.

We're checking with the developers to see if they have any reason this VSAM 
dataset needs to be SHR(3 3), with the recommendation they change it to (2 3).  
The batch code has no internal means of serializing updates to guarantee 
integrity.  This was a test of some new functionality that is supposed to be 
only running while CICS is down, but the developer decided to test it during 
the day while the VSAM DS was open to CICS.  

Again, thank you for assisting.

Rex

While I don't have the VSAM manuals handy, I think in most cases the
share options should be (2,3).  Review the manuals
