Right, the Enq is there for a reason. My VPS delete Rexx only removes the VPSMLIST entry, not the printer member. This update works fine with an Alloc SHR REU.

Hi Dave, Which VPS dataset? Thanks, Linda ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave L - Eagan Hansen, MN" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 6, 2012 9:33:55 AM 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?
