Depending on the size or your shop and the number of TSO users, you could cause
a FUBAR by renaming any shared ISPF data set. Those get allocated not only
through logon PROCs but also through any number of CLIST/REXX over which you
may have zero control or even knowledge. However you do this, aim to end up
with the original names so that users are not stranded.
If you have a handful of users you can't cancel, use FORCE U=xxxx. It's messy,
but the pain will (most likely) be short lived.

So using your normal change control process, the following steps can be taken
1) Issue D GRS,RES=(*,data-set-name-here)
See who has it allocated
2) Set TSO USERMAX to 0. F TSO,USERMAX=0
Make sure you are logged on before you issue this command
3) Start to cancel users that are enqueued on the dataset
4) Once enqueues are gone, rename the file
If this does not work, you may have to update any TSO Logon PROCs or CLISTs
1) Create a new version of the dataset
2) Update any TSO Logon procs and/or CLISTs to use the new dataset
3) Bounce out users from TSO/ISPF
4) Issue D GRS,RES=(*,data-set-name-here)
Is there any enqueues left?
Repeat to go back to original name
If there is more than one LPAR in the PLEX and it is sharing this file, you may
need to do this across multiple LPARs.
