I didn't say it is safe, I only said "you can delete it", because neither LLA not XCFAS use/ENQue it. > In order to make it inactive as a LNKLST data set, a new LNKLST set > must be activated and all running address spaces that started before > activating the new LNKLST set must be told to use the new LNKLST > set using LNKLST UPDATE.
