Well... I'm not sure.

Yes, I can copy all dataset from VOL001 to VOL002 and get both consolidated and not overallocated datasets. I think I cannot do it to "copy in place" - that means from VOL001 to same VOL001.

Actually I can solve my *current* problem manually, even by using ISPF P.3.4 action characters and/or IEBCOPY jobs. However I would like to "invent" something more elegant and less cumbersome.

<some rant>
In fact I don't understand why ADRDSSU does not process the dataset even if I switched off both LLA and unallocated the LNKLST. I would want ADRDSSU to have a switch like TOL(ENQF) for DEFRAG and CONSOLIDATE. Or COMPRESS. It may require special authorities as potentially dangerous - that's OK. However DSS authors are aware some SYS1 dataset *names* are almost always enqueued, but it would be quite convenient to process them from another z/OS image.
Does nobody compressed SYS1.LINKLIB using DSS?
Note: IEBCOPY can do it even on live sysres.

Im guessing you have tried COPY
With Process(SYS1) and exclude VVDS

It is *not* SYSRES, however it contains copy of system libraries, i.e. 
SYS1.HELP or SISPLOAD, etc.
Unfortunately most of the datasets is omitted with the message "DATA SET dsname IN 
USER AND WAS NOT MOVED"
I stopped LLA and issued SETPROG LNKLST,UNALLOCATE. Neither LLA nor XCFAS are 
keeping the enqueue.
However it seems, the DSS "knows better" and refuse to touch those datasets.
Again - it is not a SYSRES. Those datasets are even not cataloged.

Q: How to circumvent the problem?

The only idea I imagine is to use some tool (which one???) to rename SYS1.* to 
SYS2.* then do the DSS work, then rename it back.

Any clue?
