As others have mentioned "LNKLST UPDATE JOB(*)" is required to get all
old address spaces to switch to a newly activated lnklst and free up all
prior usage of LNKLST00, but if you search past threads on this topic on
ibm-main you will find that at least in the past this has involved some
element of risk, depending on what library has been changed and how it
is being used by the address space; so the best time to do this may be
after making corresponding changes to PROGxx just before a scheduled
IPL. The ACTIVATE by itself only causes address spaces created in the
future to use the new LNKLST definition - existing address spaces by
default continue to use the same LNKLSTxx that they were using before
the ACTIVATE.
Maybe I am overly paranoid, but I would never delete a dynamically
"removed" lnklist library within the same IPL. Once it is freed, just
rename it and by some means insure it is not eligible for migration or
other movement, just in case there is still some control block somewhere
left pointing to the old extents. Save the delete for after the next
IPL when the library has never been accessed as a lnklist library.

I want to change the size of a LINKLIB. So how I was going to tackle this
was, define the new one, copy the contents from the old library to the new
library.
Remove the LINKLIB from the APF list and the LNKLST. Delete the old
dataset, rename the new one, and then add it back to the PAF and LNKLSTs.
setprog apf,delete,dsname=sys3.prod.linklib,volume=tusr01
SETPROG LNKLST,DEFINE,NAME=lnklst01,COPYFROM=lnklst00
SETPROG LNKLST,delete,NAME=lnklst01,dsname=sys3.prod.linklib
SETPROG LNKLST,ACTIVATE,NAME=lnklst01
I then went to delete the old dataset, but it still says Dataset In Use.
What did I miss?
