Actually I found a way around the issue - I pre-allocated the DATASETS file to the right storage pool and it was used by LMDLIST with no complaints or issues.
The process is just a little one-off for a manager - nothing long-term or permanent. Thanks for your help.

So what does this process do? Perhaps there might be another way to do what you need (NAVIQUEST for SMS for example comes with DFSMS) Or you might do a copy of the .DATASETS file before ending your process to a dataset that goes where you want it to go.
