i have one REXX program when executed it makes changes in another JCL, And i have to submit that JCL to get my output .

And it happens that if anyone is running this REXX bfore i can submit this changed JCL their changes comes to this JCL,

How about starting with a JCL model and then saving the changes in a different, user-ID specific file for submission?

Do you mean PDS (Partitioned DataSet) or LDS (VSAM Linear DataSet)

I mean PDS,

1) Is it possible to lock a PDS

2) Atleast Getenq of the PDS using REXX


My problem is,
1) I have a Rexx That edits a JOB and Save , And i have to submit the job.
if i submitted the first job, and before i can submit the job (thru Batch), if submitted the 1st prog , my JOB gets edited and their changes comes to my 2nd JOB.

As Bill suggested use a model, or either that, use ISPF file tailoring services.
