It that is the case, since OS/390 2.10 you can just rename it via ISPF 3.4 even though it is in use. You will be presented with an "are you sure" panel. Then you can delete the renamed dsn. You need to have at least read authority to the RACF facility class named STGADMIN.DPDSRN.olddsname, where olddsname is up to 23 characters of the existing data set name. The doc is hard to find on this - it is in the DFSMSdfp Advanced Services manual in the chapter on Managing the Volume Table Of Contents (it is not documented in the ISPF manuals at all). Specifically, the information can be found in chapter 2.6 - Renaming a Data Set in the VTOC under the General Considerations and Restrictions section. If you are trying to apply maintenance to a live sysres (yuck) and need to delete that version... entirely different story. You need to copy to a new dsn, point SMP/E at that dsn, and do dynamic LNKLST update to point to the newdsn without touching the original one (don't delete it). Plenty of info in the archives with various scenarios.
