DO NOT DO WHAT I HAVE SEEN DISCUSSED, unless you don't mind re-IPLing. You have, for some reason, placed this data set into the LNKLST. If you delete the data set, don't count on your system staying up. The ENQs on LNKLST data sets are to stop you from doing the harm to your system that deleting

As far as I know, XCFAS would not allocate any data set other than what XCF itself needs (perhaps some sort of couple data set) and data sets in the LNKLST. If your data set is not in either of those categories, I cannot help. If there is no active LNKLST data set with the data set in question,
