IBM Mainframe Forum

this is my jcl:
//*
//REPLACE EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
EDIT 'PRIVATE.PROCLIB(MYMEM)' DATA NONUM ASIS
TOP
CHANGE * 999 /=GOODBOY/=GOODGIRL/
TOP
LIST * 999
END SAVE
/*
//*
----------------------------------------
this is result:
END SAVE
DATA SET 'PRIVATE.PROCLIB(MYMEM)' ALREADY IN USE, TRY LATER+
DATA SET IS ALLOCATED TO ANOTHER USER OR JOB
END
----------------
in fact, i can see the PSD is modified by LIST * 999 during executing.but save fail

I am sure there is no session taking up the PDS, and I can modify it by 3.4 edit successfully.

what should i do?

Hello and welcome to the forum,

I'm not connected so i'm not able to test just now, but you might try using SAVE instead of END SAVE.

thanks for your soon response, i tried SAVE, but the situation is the same as follows:
END OF DATA
SAVE
DATA SET 'PRIVATE.PROCLIB(MYMEM)' ALREADY IN USE, TRY LATER+
DATA SET IS ALLOCATED TO ANOTHER USER OR JOB
END

Find out who is using it

faint, no body use it , i am sure, i said i can edit the content by 3.4 successfully
what should i do~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have used the dataset in ISPF it is probably still allocated to you as DISP=SHR. EXIT out of ISPF and try again.

Bill Dennis, thanks for you reply, I close ISPF and try again, failed.
