When you access the file, start the name with a single quote

The single quote tells the system not to search in your "tree" (which starts with the MF username), but from the "root".
It's been a few years since I've worked on a mainframe, but I believe you would then refer to the SAS dataset as xxx.something inside your SAS program. Borrowing from @Kurt_Bremser's code, something like this:
libname xxx "'abc.def.ghijk.lnm154.something";
DATA Want;
SET xxx.something;
RUN;
