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
