Re: IDCAMS REPRO/ENQ question
Assuming this is a process that you would prefer to run without any failures, wouldn't a better approach would be to just use OFILE and allocate the file via a DD? DD allocation will wait until the dataset is available and then proceed. Dynamic allocation implied by OUTDATASET will not wait and only fails if the dataset is not available. Static (DD) allocation, if it waits a long time, also gives you an opportunity to use various tools to show what is holding the enqueue on the dataset. RMF will show you waits, but since the dynamic allocation just fails without a wait you will never see the causer.
