Hello Basically if you are in ISPF 3.4 and get the message "Allocated to another user" Try hitting PF1 (Help) once or twice. It should show you who has the file. Then you either need to have that user cancelled, or you call the user and ask them to free the Data set.
Second option is to issue a GRS command from the console to display the holders of resources. Note: If it is not a TSO user holding the dataset (it is either a batch job or STC) then you need to deterimine if the JCL has DISP=OLD and then handle it appropriately.
