One tool you can use to find uncatalogued datasets is DFDSS - and you can use
TYPRUN=NORUN to just get the displays. Try using something like this:
//GUK17X EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU, PARM='TYPRUN=NORUN' ,
// REGION=4000K
//SYSUT2 DD DUMMY
//SYSU01 DD DISP=SHR,UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=SP8060
//SYSIN DD *,DCB=BLKSIZE=80
DUMP INDD(SYSU01) -
OUTDD(SYSUT2) -
DATASET (EXCLUDE (SYS*.**) -
BY ((CATLG EQ NO) (DSORG NE VSAM) ))
/*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=X
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=X
//SYSUDUMP DD DUMMY
This should try to dump all of the non-VSAM datasets on volume SP8060 that are
not catalogued. The output is dummied and the TYPRUN=NORUN causes the job to
do nothing, but it should give you a list of uncataloged datasets on the
volume.
And with a simple REXX you could generate a ton of these steps from a list of
volumes.

Nope, that is not the original problem.
What happened was that when I was working through a list of datasets that have
not been used for over a year, I found out that some of those files were not
catalogued. As those are (were) SMS managed datasets, this should not happen.
The user catalogs are alright or we would be having a lot of problems. But ,
for some reason, some files were uncatalogued but not scratched from the VTOC.
I suppose that can happen to some GDG entries when the base definition is
"NOSCRATCH". But most of the files that I have found so far are not GDG entries.
So, I need a process to find uncatalogued datasets that will not take ages to
run, that will not be way too much CPU heavy, and that does not rely on vendor
software other than the IBM software that we already have. And ideally I would
not want to use REXX programming or if I have to use it, that it will be very
simple, easy to understand and to maintain if such a need would arise.
Regards
Jack
