Do you have at least UPDATE authority to the catalog? Since the dataset is nonvsam, you can use 3.4 and specify the volser to list the DSN. If you delete it using this list, the catalog will not be referenced.
You can then clean up the catalog later if you want to. If you don't intend to keep the SERVERPAC catalog, you don't need to worry about it containing superfluous entries. :>: -----Original Message----- :>: From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On :>: Behalf Of Skip Robinson :>: Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2014 8:07 AM :>: To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU :>: Subject: IKJ56228I trying to delete a data set :>: :>: Cleaning up after a ServerPac install.
