If you're just trying to get past the enqueue and are not updating a running system, then you can stop LLA, unallocate LINKLIST and do whatever you want to with the libraries. I usually do this while I'm working on our tech LPAR to expand linklisted libraries getting them ready to migrate to production volumes. I wouldn't do this when your system is real busy and be careful. I didn't know you could have authority to change a dataset while an enqueue is held though. That is probably a better and safer route. I'm going to check into that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
