ALCOBJ (Allocate Object)

Unless the CICS® system programmer replaces the CICS/DDM-supplied exclusive file lock program with a special version of the program, a lock condition value of *SHRRD or *SHRUPD must be used when using the Allocate Object (ALCOBJ) command to allocate a remote VSAM data set. All other lock condition values result in a server message on the iSeries™ server.
