RECOVERABLE FILE MLICNTL OPENED WITH SHROPT 3

Q:

User gets WARNING. RECOVERABLE FILE MLICNTL OPENED WITH SHROPT 3 OR 4 CICS CANNOT ENSURE INTEGRITY. User is VSE.

A:

This should not be a problem as long as the file is being updated in only one region. To avoid the warning message, we suggest setting the file for update in only one region and then making it read only in the other regions. You can then define the file with SHAREOPTIONS 2 and still share the file.
