Replying to my own e-mail - now that's tacky. I'd suggest using Tom's approach instead of mine, just use ISPF to rename them, ignoring the ENQ.

If this is the case, I go ahead and allocate the ".NEW" libraries and apply my maintenance into them. I then do something that's probably quite dangerous and I'll most likely get my virtual fingers slapped here for suggesting this, but I'll rename the libraries to something really close to the production names, like "SYS1.VTAMLIC" for "SYS1.VTAMLIB". I then uncatalog the libraries (because I have the production libraries cataloged using indirect catalogs). I then shut off the VTOC index, do a DUMPT of the VTOC on the volume with the new libraries and use SUPERZAP to zap the VTOC to the correct DSN. After another DUMPT to make sure I didn't screw anything up, I then reactivate the VTOC index. If somebody else has a "safer" way of doing this, I'd be willing to change my (probably bad) habits. :-) Rex -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jerry Fuchs Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2008 12:28 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Help with applying maintenance I am trying to apply maintenance to z/OS 1.7 but received a D37-04 in three libraries. Of course all three are link listed libraries. I can allocate .NEW libraries and copy into them, but how do I then rename them to the original name?
