Dear Folks, I am facing strange problem, my environment is Sun Solaris, SAS 9.1.3. Situation: I want to create summary report for the libraries about no of obs, when was the data set created and library name etc. One main job started to run which in turn creates around 30 to 50 parallel jobs in which I have to create summary report specifically for two libraries for all those parallel jobs. I have used dictionary. tables and dictionary. members to get the report created but every now and then I am getting an error saying the =93Lock was not available for the dataset and held by some process=94. Solution in Mind: Is this can be avoid if I use sashelp.vtable and sashelp.vslib? Since as far as I know the dictionaries will open the libraries to get the above said key things but these sashelp views can be other way around to avoid these issue? I need your expert=92s advice on this to resolve this issue. Regards, Vijay
