When I have needed to compress a PDS that was in frequent/continuous use, e g a target load library in test env, I use a command/rexx that submits a job which begins with submitting another job that has the pds allocated with DISP=OLD. This as a way to "shut the door" behind. Then it waits typically 30 seconds where after it starts the compress (w DISP=SHR). And in the last step cancels the "shut the door" job and ends. Something along this could be used as a way to minimize problems when deleting members. I have never had any problems with this approach.
