"Alloc f(xxx) da(real dsn) old" will tell you if the dataset is reserved by others. We have a program that can query on major and masked dsname. Last thing, isfexec does not need is of and you can use filter major eq sudden and minor a masked dsname. It will also let you know who is using the file.
