Hello,

Quote: A Address Space allocated a dataset that I must use.
Which address space?

If you try to edit the dataset, it will say "in use". Then press F1 two times and you can see what is holding the dataset. If this is some production process or some other user, you will probably need to wait (or make arrangements to have the dataset made available).

The ddname is not what holds the dataset - the dataset name does.

The dataset was allocated by a production task BBIAO (Mainview For Autooperator).

I canīt stop and start TASK before next IPL.

Sorry do not know anything about 'Mainview For Autooperator", but can you give it a command to stop what it is doing with that dataset and free it up?

Or perhaps you can both share it, if you understand how it's used.

Perhaps you can use a different name for development, then rename it later.

I think that should be justification for restarting it.
