Daniel, In your e-mail you said that you changed the directory (remove volumes from profiles) and then tried to detach the volumes from MVSUSERS. I think that the reason that you got an error is that you activated the changes BEFORE you tried to detach them.
I may be wrong, but if I am right, you will need to reverse the directory changes, detach the volumes and then activate the changes. Loren Charnley, Jr. IT Systems Engineer Family Dollar Stores, Inc.

If you #CP DETACH the mdisks from the users, then QUERY DASD Z3Z1P1 and QUERY DASD Z3Z1S1 should show no linked users. Does it? Does QUERY SYSTEM 47E and QUERY SYSTEM 49E match your expectations?
