delete orphaned Data and Index components?:
I have somehow created a data and index component of a VSAM KSDS
that are orphaned from the cluster name. The cluster was deleted
and re-created and now has differently named data and index
components, so I don't think I can "connect" the orphaned components
to that cluster name.
All file creation and deletion was done in batch jobs. The orphaned
components were created using the LIKE operand in an IEFBR14 step.
Neither TSO delete nor IDCAMS batch delete will allow me to remove
the components. IDCAMS complains as follows:
IDC2552I ENTRY TYPE IS INVALID FOR DELETE
IDC0551I ** ENTRY HLQC01.HLQC002.HLQ3.HLQ04.ED0399C7 NOT DELETED
IDC2552I ENTRY TYPE IS INVALID FOR DELETE
IDC0551I ** ENTRY HLQC01.HLQC002.HLQ3.HLQ04.O19KLAD7 NOT DELETED
IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 8
The IDC2552I explanation in the Fine Manual only says I can't delete
these entry types but doesn't tell me how I *can* delete them.
Is there any way to delete these orphaned components?
TIA for any help, RTFM, etc. you can provide.
Have you tried creating a new cluster (different name) pointing at
the orphaned data and index components using the recatalog parm and
then if that succeeds, deleting it?
