Regarding

        SETPROG LNKLST,UNALLOCATE
        P LLA
        SET PROG=09
        S LLA,SUB=MSTR
        SETPROG LNKLST,ALLOCATE

This approach is not right. It is either unnecessary or wrong. LNKLST 
UNALLOCATE is provided so that you can manipulate an uncataloged data set 
of the same name as a data set in the LNKLST. It is not provided so that 
you can attempt to fool the system into working with catalog updates that 
will not be reflected in current allocations (such as in the LNKLST). 

>LNKLST ACTIVATE NAME(SAMPLLA) 
>LNKLST UPDATE JOB(*) 
>APF ADD DSNAME(SYS1.MYLINKLB) VOLUME(&SYSR3)      

The APF state of LNKLST data sets should be established before the LNKLST 
set is activated. Not critical, but better.

And you should never use LNKLST UPDATE unless you are willing to re-IPL at 
the next instant, as it is unpredictably dangerous. Of course sometimes 
that is better than not trying it at all.
