I am not clear on why you want a different HLQ. Perhaps the SYMBOLICRELATE might be more helpful. You can use Symbolics on different LPARs but have the same dataset name used on all.
For example. DSN A.B.C can be used on all lpars Underneath the symbolicrelate says on LPAR1 A.B.REL1.C LPAR2 A.B.REL2.C LPAR3 A.B.BASE.C The Third node would be based on an &REL that is defined in the IEASYMxx member of parmlib. This way each lpar has the base name of A.B.C cataloged for all users/tasks. But the resolution of which dataset to use is controlled by the SYMBOL entry in IEASYMxx. Is this something that you would be able to use for your process? If not, please let us know what you need to do with the two different HLQs.
