we have run into may situations where when we are upgrading to a new release of a product (say IDMS or DB2) - we warn all users that ad-hoc jobs that access the runtime-loadlibs will mis-behave during the upgrade additionally - many jobs have JCL included for libraries they simply don;t need
however - many dont listen and submit jobs anyhow - we chose not to take the time to cancel these jobs so we can rename or delete - we just empty the PDS and then re-load with the newer contents!
