Error description
When EGLPREP Is used with multiple threads, for builds involving cobol compiles on host, a problem may occur as multiple host jo bs will try to write to the same cobol pds. This should normally have been by fixed by adding ENQ=YES keywor d, but the ENQ=YES keyword on the ddname for the input files in the bui ld scripts is being ignored, so ENQ=YES
