Does the dataset exist but the enqueue fails or do you fail due to dataset not found? If the latter, use DISP=(MOD,DELETE,DELETE). If the former, there is a JES2 parameter that will change the behavior from fail to wait but you really need a process to insure no one else is using the datasets in question.
