Can you show the ENQ that you're talking about? Reason I am asking is that I don't believe that you're faced with an ENQ. Rather, you are probably faced with a latch, as that is the way PDSE (and HFS) members and directories are serialized. And the reopen just hits the latch, not the ENQ.
(And yes, I have performed open-heart-surgery in the OMVS asid by terminating a tcb there via callrtm when absolutely NO logon to uss or access to any new HFS file was possible anymore. That tcb held the needed latch. It was preferable to reIPL a production system during the day.)
