You looked up the wrong return/reason code. "84 Explanation: CAXWA count of
active users has..." is return code 4, reason code 84.
This is return code 84, reason code 0:
RETURN CODE 84
Explanation: Date error.
Reason Code Description
0 Explanation: An unexpired purge date exists. An
attempt to delete an entry failed because its
expiration date has not been reached, and the DELETE
command did not specify the PURGE option.

You need the PURGE/PRG-Option of IDCAMS-DELETE to delete an unexpired data set.
There's no equivalent in JCL.
