How-to | Manage concurrent access to files in the MVSExec API

[FALLAI-Denis]

Hi,

I noticed that if a file was reserved by another task, the MVSExec command did not wait for the file to be freed and went directly into an error.
A priori this operation is linked to the use of BPXWDYN.

I analyzed the BPXWDYN documentation and found nothing regarding handling concurrent access to files.

Is there a way to make the MVSExec command wait "a certain amount of time" for a locked resource to be freed rather than immediately raising an error?

Thanks.
