Hello List,

This problem under VSE, for us, is a old problem, and We want know if anybody can help please,
We have this problem :

// JOB SAFTEST                                                      DATE 05/03/2
// EXEC IDCAMS,SIZE=AUTO
1S54I PHASE IDCAMS   IS TO BE FETCHED FROM IJSYSRS.SYSLIB
IDCAMS SYSTEM SERVICES                                           TIME: 12:40:17

DELETE SUPORTE.SUPDSABC.DELTAFL CL PRG CAT(VSESP.USER.CATALOG)
IDC3028I DATA SET IN USE
IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 184 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLCX-4
IDC0551I **ENTRY SUPORTE.SUPDSABC.DELTAFL NOT DELETED
IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 8

And this file, is not from CICS, don't have none batch job running, and We don't understand who are using this file.

This file was included on a EXIT named IESVSCAP of REDIRECTOR product.

We remove this file from this EXIT, recompile this, and the problem continue.

Under TSO, We can see who is "holding" the dataset, but under VSE have some thing to do ?

Thanks very much,

Sérgio Lima Costa

Hello.

Maybe you should try to have closed the VSAM Redirector on the computer, and check that is not defined in CICS.

What version of VSE/ESA or z/VSE do you run. From what I understand the latest version (at least) is suppose to show what TID/PID is holding the lock on the dataset.

Hello Sergio,

There is a LOCK SHOW AR command. Described in the Hints and Tips.

Mario,

I saw this once, pre-VSAM Redirector, at another site. This was about
15 years ago. And it happened every few months. We were never able to
determine why.

What we were able to do was a IDCAMS ALTER ... NEWNAME against the
index component, data component, and then the Cluster, in that order.
Then we were able to recreate the original file, with the original file
name.

We continued to receive the 184 File In Use error until the next
scheduled IPL, after which we were able to delete the renamed file.

I said, because recently the same thing happened to me, implementing VSAM Redirector (4 months ago), I wanted to delete a VSAM file was defined in RDCONFIG and gave me error "Data Set in use" then closed the VSAM Redirector(PC) and then I would go home the same message, then as he had defined the file entry in the RDO, first remove it with CEDF and then delete the file in the program group. I try with IDCAMS to delete the file and delete it.

Hello Mr. Martin,

Thanks very much, from you help.
We found the command here, look please :

Display Facility
To allow faster diagnosis in case of resources being in use or deadlock situations it
is now possible to display the actual locking status of
the entire lock table
all locks held by a specified partition (PIK)
a given resource name
a set of resource names, specified with name*
a set of resource names held by a given partition
This feature is available via a new Attention Routine command LOCK SHOW.
Examples for the usage of the command are
LOCK SHOW shows all currently held locks (resources) of this
z/VSE system.
LOCK SHOW=F4 shows all currently held locks (resources) of
partition F4.
LOCK SHOW,RESOURCE-E10 shows who is currently holding resource
RESOURCE-E10 (if held at all).
LOCK SHOW,VSYSOPEN'00000001
shows who is currently holding resource
VSYSOPEN0000001 (if held at all), where
VSYSOPEN is interpreted as characters and
00000001 as hex value.
LOCK SHOW,RESOURC* shows who is currently holding resources, starting
with the character string RESOURC.
LOCK SHOW=F6,RES* shows, if partition F6 is currently holding
resources, starting with the character string RES

The problem with using the LOCK display is that you only get the
internal Lock table entries. The lock names are 12-bytes long, and a
VSAM cluster lock contains "V" followed by the volume serial number of
the disk that contains the VSAM catalog followed by the CI number in
the catalog that is the start point for the file definition. You do
not get a dataset name as most of the IBM lock names are cryptic. It
makes it unique for VSAM but unintelligible to mere mortals like me.

I tried a delete/define in BG on a file that I knew was already open
and in a catalog on volume VSET23. I used LOCK TRACE=BG,VVSET23* and
got a LOT of console output, including the one (I hope) that was
relevant before the VSAM message:

BG 0025 DTL
V00520A30 001E1248 E5E5E2C5 E3F2F300 008D0000 * çVVSET23 ò *

BG 0000 4228I FILE FILEA OPEN ERROR X'A8'(168) CAT=CICSUCT
(OPNH1-45) FILE ALREADY OPEN IN ANOTHER PARTITION

See the Supervisor DRM for the control block layouts. The DTL is the
control block that defines the request. The LOCKTAB entry maps the
resource. The Lock Owner element says which task owns the resource, in
this case we have task 2E.

Use the STATUS command to identify the partitions by their task ids:

. . .

AR 0015 S61 -W1 82 WAITING FOR I/O, OR ECB POSTING

Hope this helps.
