Subject:      Re: updating a sas dataset by multiple jobs

I went thru a white paper (not sure), Paper 195-25
Multiple Users to Update the Same Data Set in the Windows Environment.
But,I am not very sure on how to use SAS/SAHRE libname assignment. So, I
am trying to implement example 3 (macro code without using SAS/SHARE)
given in this paper. But, I like to add another check to see if the
dataset is avilable for writing. Is there a way to check this?

Also, I looked into CNTLLEV= option (dataset option). SAS Documentation is
saying that:
"
By default, SAS procedures permit the greatest degree of concurrent access
possible while they guarantee the integrity of the data and the data
analysis. Therefore, you do not normally use the CNTLLEV= data set
option. "

Please suggest me...
