I agree with Skip Robertson. EDIT PACK is probably on. This not something
defined per the dataset. This is specified in the EDIT PROFILE and is applied
at the MEMBER level, not the dataset level. I.E. You can have just one member
within a PDS saved with PACK ON and still have other
I fail to see why you would expect an abend if the member was being edited in
ISPF when it was deleted in batch. My expectation was that the batch delete
would work fine and that user performing the ISPF edit would not notice any
impact.
I would expect the following to happen:

Ah - OK. Somewhere back in the mists of time I was once aware that the Edit
SAVE only enqueued the PDS momentarily, but I failed to recall that fact when
needed.
So the abend concern is only if the ISPF Edit SAVE occurred at the same
"instant" as the batch delete. A small but admittedly not i

Speaking as a developer. A few years back we used to pass all new (or
troublesome) queries through "Visual Explain". We LOVED it. It dramatically
improved our ability to tune queries before we implemented them.
Then our internal "software police" took Visual Explain away from us and made

IMHO, the best way to handle substitution beyond LRECL is to drive the
SYNAD exit.
Sure you can. "Dataset not found" produces a runtime JCL error quite
frequently.
