Hi,
If the Lib is a pdse you can verify that sys1.parmlib(igdsms00) is set
to PDSESHARING(EXTENDED) this should allow deleting in this case. This
permits member level access.

Subject: Exclusive ENQ on dataset owned (SHR) by Started Task?
Group,
We are running z/OS V1R13 and a product called VPS. I wrote some code to
ADD, UPDATE and DELETE members of a PDS. It worked fine until VPS came up.
I see that the VPS started task "OWNS SHR" the dataset.
I need to allocate a dataset exclusively (EXCL/DISP=MOD) to do a delete from
REXX (or batch).
I can go out by hand using 3.4 and delete all I want from the dataset while
VPS is up.
I asked the vendor if they can FREE the dataset after program initialization.
Waiting to hear back.
Q). What is the best way to delete a PDS member while the started task has it
allocated DISP=SHR?
Thanks in advance, Dave
