Though I am able to edit this member through panvalet options but when I try to extract this using REXX I get error while allocating. There is a contention with a job. I don't have access to the job or JCL so don't know what it is doing.

But why doesn't this contention happen when I try to edit it through panvalet?

I am trying to allocate a panvalet dataset as -

"alloc f(pandd1 ) da('"lib_nm"') shr reuse"

Message I am getting is -

Dibakar,

I don't think you can directly allocate a panavalet library within rexx. Check this link which might help

Hope this helps...

Kolusu,

I have recently moved from one project to another so I am testing some of my tools again.

The code I gave was from a tool which was working in my previous project. Since my original program accepts wild card so I cannot go by member name.

Still, I will see if I can modify the logic and use SUBSYS instead.

Thanks,
Diba.

oops ... SUBSYS is not allowed in REXX, as mentioned in the above link.

There is no problem allocating the Panvalet Library in REXX as long as you use Panvalet utilities to access the members. Looks to me like someone else has exclusive control. I am not sure if the REUSE parameter would cause these symptoms.

yes, reuse was causing the problem.

thanks,
