But LLA also has the SYSDSN enqueue. The OP was saying that he couldn't do the rename due to the SYSDSN enqueue. So I was saying that the SETPROG UNALLOCATE had to be done, and also a STOP LLA. Your sentence above my comment was "There would have been no reason to stop LLA." Given that the OP did not have & said he could not get the RACF profile set up which allows renaming an enqueued dataset. That's why I was curious about why you said "no reason to stop LLA".
