Hi Dave,
The VPS printer member dataset has an as-shipped lower level of CNTL - unless you are using a local name?

Linda, My parmlibs have the printer members in them. I was just trying to get a REXX job to delete a printer member. Address ISPEXEC "LMINIT DATAID(INDD) DATASET('VPS.PARMLIB3') ENQ(SHRW)" "LMOPEN DATAID("INDD") OPTION(OUTPUT)" "LMMDEL DATAID("INDD") MEMBER(DAVE)" "LMCLOSE DATAID("INDD")" "LMFREE DATAID("INDD")" Thanks for everybody's help, Dave Dave Hansen Eagan Software Systems Branch 651-406-1208 dave.l.han...@usps.gov -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Linda Mooney Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2012 2:50 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Exclusive ENQ on dataset owned (SHR) by Started Task? Hi Dave, Which VPS dataset? Thanks, Linda ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave L - Eagan Hansen, MN" <dave.l.han...@usps.gov> To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Sent: Wednesday, June 6, 2012 9:33:55 AM Subject: Exclusive ENQ on dataset owned (SHR) by Started Task? Group, We are running z/OS V1R13 and a product called VPS. I wrote some code to ADD, UPDATE and DELETE members of a PDS. It worked fine until VPS came up. I see that the VPS started task "OWNS SHR" the dataset. I need to allocate a dataset exclusively (EXCL/DISP=MOD) to do a delete from REXX (or batch). I can go out by hand using 3.4 and delete all I want from the dataset while VPS is up. I asked the vendor if they can FREE the dataset after program initialization. Waiting to hear back. Q). What is the best way to delete a PDS member while the started task has it allocated DISP=SHR?
