I would go a little further in this process. See if SYS1.VTAMLST is allocated to anything else other than VTAM. We have VTAMLST in TCPIP proc as well.
Any task that has your VTAMLST allocated will need to come down. Easiest way is the GRS command: D GRS,RES=(*,SYS1.VTAMLST) Whatever is in the list, would need to come down inorder to compress or rename the files. here is an example from my shop: ISG343I 12.46.27 GRS STATUS 903 S=SYSTEMS SYSDSN SYS1.VTAMLST SYSNAME JOBNAME ASID TCBADDR EXC/SHR STATUS DDB2 VTAMZOS 003D 009FD0C8 SHARE OWN DPA1 VTAMZOS 003E 009FD0C8 SHARE OWN SPG7 VTAMZOS 003A 009FD0C8 SHARE OWN SDH8 VTAMZOS 003A 009FD0C8 SHARE OWN DPA1 TPX 00A2 009FD0C8 SHARE OWN I would need to take down VTAM and TPX in all LPARs sharing this dataest. If your test system is a standalone, then you should need see any additional LPARs. Remember GRS manages at the DSN level.
