You might have been thinking of PDSEs. It was not possible to delete PDSEs that were in the IPL-time LNKLST. That restriction has been lifted as of z/OS 1.8. >How is a move less of a concern than compressing an in-use LNKLST dataset >then doing an LLA refresh? In order to "move" or "compress" you must first get all existing address spaces not to be using the data set. That is usually the LNKLST UPDATE operation which is unpredictably dangerous and thus should be used only when there is no alternative. Once no one is using a data set, and it has been removed from LLA management, you can do what you want with that data set, more or less.
