mmmmmm - maybe. *if* everybody is playing with the same deck of cards. Go edit a member of a PDS and whilst in the edit session run a batch UPDTE to replace the same member. You'd better be *REAL* good at explaining nuances to satisfy anybody who got their update trampled on. As to the original post, I wouldn't contemplate this DISP=SHR. Use DISP=OLD, or migrate it to a PDSE.
