I have a Focus Load job abended with following error:
BMC102615E SHARING CONFLICT FOR DSNAME(TEST.LOAD.BANKM.DATA ), MODE=E, RC=04. MBOS

My understanding is... that dataset currently is being used by other user/job. Correct me if I'm wrong. Any ideas how to prevent this problem so my job can run to completion during batch cycle. I don't want any user/job accesses to any dataset while data is updating.

Here is my JCL and this step is abended:
//S125 EXEC FOCUS
//MASTER DD DSN=TEST.MASTER,
// DISP=SHR
//FOCEXEC DD DSN=TEST.REFRESH.FOCEXEC,
// DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=TEST.GATEWAY.FOCEXEC,
// DISP=SHR
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//ABNLIGNR DD DUMMY
//SYSIN DD DSN=TEST.PARMLIB(F8MFCNTL),
// DISP=SHR,
// DCB=BUFNO=1
//BANKM DD DSN=TEST.LOAD.BANKM.DATA,
// DISP=SHR
//BANKX DD DSN=TEST.COMBINE.C650,
// DISP=SHR
//RATEX DD DSN=TEST.COMBINE.C098,
// DISP=SHR



Thanks so much!

This is a JCL question, not a FOCUS question.

As I recall, shouldn't you be allocating the dataset with DISP=OLD to ensure that only your job has access to the dataset? I think your job will wait until the other job releases the dataset.

This is from my remembrances of things past...

Thank you everyone replied to this question. I found the answer.

Well, what is the answer?
