How do you delete a dataset that has a invalid dataset name? I have one

JCL, surrounded by apostrophes; specify UNIT and VOL (presumably it's
not catalogued).
Can we have a cataloged 9 character dataset?
Yes, you can! It is fully supported and conform IBM guidelines.
Examples:
SYS1.ABCD - exactly 9 characters, including dot.
HLQ2.ANYTH - even more characters, or 9 plus dot as you want.
<vbg>
But seriously: It is much easier to create "illegal" entries in VTOC,
than have them cataloged. Few z/OS releases ago new ICF switch was
introduced and now you have to explicitly allow illegal names.
AFAIK it is F CATALOG DISABLE(DSNCHECK)
