Have you tried adding FREE=CLOSE to the dataset?
The FREE parameter indicates when MVS is to free the resource(s)
allocated to this DD statement. The resource(s) can be device(s),
volume(s), or data set(s).
FREE=CLOSE is ignored when:
- The data set is a member of a concatenated group.
- The task using the data set abnormally terminates.
- The data set is referenced by another DD statement in the same or
subsequent step.
