As far as I know, John, STGADMIN.DPDSRN.name allows you to RENAME the data
set, not DELETE it.  Of course, after renaming it you could probably delete
it without getting hit by the ENQ.


However, the intent is to allow one to to rename a data set that has a
duplicate name that is in use on some other system other than the one you're on.

One might argue that while XCFAS and LLA have the data set ENQed that it
-is- in use on the system, and thus using this function is not appropriate.
 I don't know whether it would cause any problems, but using it this way is
outside the intended (and as far as I know) tested scenarios.
