Typically we have had to resort to VVDSFIX for this kind of situation. Read all about it (+ link for the download) at: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3S1000618

The volume is SMS-managed, the datasets are in a user catalog. First we had just one dataset (FRZ0011.NETSTAT.LIST) which we can't get rid of. Some experiments created the other two: an IDCAMS ALTER created FRZ0011.NETSTAT.LIST.IDC1, an RENAME via ISPF 3.4 created FRZ0011.NETSTAT.LIST.OLD. Here are some infos: Excerpt from List Catalog: IDC3014I CATALOG ERROR IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 50- REASON CODE IS IGG0CLE0-6 (NVR not found) IDC1566I ** FRZ0011.NETSTAT.LIST NOT LISTED IDC3014I CATALOG ERROR IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 50- REASON CODE IS IGG0CLE0-6 (NVR not found) IDC1566I ** FRZ0011.NETSTAT.LIST.IDC1 NOT LISTED IDC3014I CATALOG ERROR IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 50- REASON CODE IS IGG0CLE0-6 (NVR not found) IDC1566I ** FRZ0011.NETSTAT.LIST.OLD NOT LISTED 3.4 in ISPF (catalog search) shows all 3 datasets: FRZ0011.NETSTAT.LIST RZP003 BROWSE/EDIT/DELETE = 'FRZ0011.NETSTAT.LIST' not on volume 'RZP003'. FRZ0011.NETSTAT.LIST.IDC1 RZP003 BROWSE/EDIT/DELETE = 'FRZ0011.NETSTAT.LIST.IDC1' not on volume 'RZP003'. FRZ0011.NETSTAT.LIST.OLD RZP003 successfully BROWSE/EDIT DELETE = IEC614I SCRATCH FAILED - RC 008, DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION IS (040942D1), ISPFFSY,RZP003,FRZ0011.NETSTAT.LIST.OLD A print of VVDS of RZP003 shows neither of the 3 datasets. A list of VTOC of RZP003 shows only FRZ0011.NETSTAT.LIST.OLD A DELETE NVR with and without catalog results for all 3 datasets in IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 90 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLFP-20 A IEHPROGM SCRATCH failed, too. We're running short of ideas how to get rid of these catalog entries and appreciate any help.
