You're a dangerous fella! <big grin> ;-) Good advice, but that is not for the faint hearted... Peter Ten Eyck wrote: >> A question about deleting a dataset that GRS (z/OS 1.13) has enqueued.

No, this is WAD! There is not a way to tell GRS you want to bypass it. You're just trying to bypass the integrity of z/OS. Please reread Lizette's good advice. She is a serious expert, trust me! I would suggest that you stop that owner, get rid of the offending dataset by RENAMING (not delete) it and catalog it if needed and start that owner. If the owner is running fine, you can then delete that offending dataset. And no, as a RACF admin, I will not give access with a special profile to delete that reserved dataset.
