Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

You should not need to take any action.

It should complete normally. 
MSGW means there is an error or it’s is waiting on data from a DTAQ or MSGQ.

What is happening to your job that is making you question it ?

    We need more information to be able to help you.  If the job isn't going into MSGW what is it doing that you feel is wrong?  What do you want it to do?

    In our shop we are happy when a job does not go to MSGW.

    Are you talking about a submitted job which is scheduled to run at a later date or time?

    Is your job in a LCKW (lock wait) condition? Depending on the Wait time your job will eventually get into MSGW (Unable to allocate...)
    The only thing that can be done is to wait for the job that has the lock to finish. Sometimes one can have interlocking conflict. At that time you must decide which of the 2 jobs can be cancelled. ENDJOB.

    If you are both trying to use the same record in the same file the second person who tries to get access should get an error. They should see a MSGW with an error "Unable to allocate record" as long as they are accessing the record for update purposes. If they do not plan on updating the record you can do a chain(N) to chain and not lock the record.

    Without knowing your job, it could be waiting on data from a data queue or message queue. If the other job does not go into a MSGW status it may be checking for locks and looping until freed. It could be a number of other things.

    If your job B does not try to read the record for update, your program will go merrily on its way.  No MSGW or LCKW.
    Do you have the source for B?
