Allow for Removal of SMDS datasets without having to start back up Queue Sharing Group Members

This would be useful to allow for SMDS datasets to be removed in the case that a Queue Sharing Group Member was decommission before removal of the members SMDS datasets. Currently the only way to remove them would be to recreate the decommission QSG members to remove the SMDS datasets only to then decommission the QSG members again.

    We document how to remove a queue manager from a QSG including draining down its SMDS: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.3?topic=zos-managing-queue-sharing-groups#q022570___RemovingAQueueManagerFromA...


    As removal of SMDS is a rare activity, it is not likely that we would prioritise additional effort in this area. As a result we are declining this Idea. While declined the Idea can still be voted, and commented, upon.
