  Since the comment is made that the program could wait... It may 
be possible to adjust for run-time, for all opens or just that one 
open [possibly with USROPN instead] of the file, to enable a longer 
WAITFILE() time; i.e. by CHGPF, CHGLF, or OVRDBF to adjust the 
"Maximum file wait time" for open requests.

  Obviously adjusting the time of the job being run, so as to avoid 
the month-end processing, should suffice instead.  Wrapped in a CLP, 
the CALL to the program could instead be preceded by a request to 
"ALCOBJ ((TheLib/TheFile *FILE TheMbr *SHRRD)) WAIT(longtime)", in 
order to effect such an avoidance, without explicit scheduling nor 
notification by the month-end processing.
