Have a look at the DADSM PARTREL macro. I have a recollection from long ago that a service to release free space without opening a data set (and so updating the last use and last reference date) had been made available and I suspect this might be it.
It's used by the DFSMSdss RELEASE command so it can be tested without writing code.
