It will always be in use in this sysplex (assuming by the name and ENQ holder that that this data set is the WLM couple data set). You would need all systems in the sysplex down or perhaps a sysplex wide IPL without the dsn specified in the COUPLExx member. I've actually never tried to discontinue the use of a particular type of couple data set, so I am just guessing here. Even if it was a separate sysplex with shared DASD and alll LPARs in the owning sysplex were down, you can't just "move" a couple data set. The VOLSER is saved in the sysplex (XCF) couple data set. So using the supported SETXCF commands to define a new data set, and switching it is the way to go Check the fine manuals and the archives.
