IEBCOPY

The IEBCOPY program does not issue any MVS enqueue to attempt to ensure exclusive use for update of the dataset into which it is copying. Therefore, there might be instances when a Generate job would fail (ABEND S213-30) if it attempted to update a load library simultaneously with another job. “Replacement” programs are available (for example, PDSFAST) which can avoid this problem; alternatively, BMC can supply an Assembler program which runs in a TSO environment (foreground or background/batch) and issues an appropriate enqueue and dequeue around a call of IEBCOPY.

Warning

Important

If update activity on the TEST and HOLD load datasets is reasonably low, this problem may not be encountered frequently enough to be of real concern.
