Subject: Re: IDCAMS QUESTION - RECATALOG To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Received: Wednesday, July 2, 2014, 6:36 AM So why use the RECATALOG? The message says Run DIAGNOSE ICFCATALOG for the extraneous catalog name. Determine whether data sets are missing from the volume. If no data sets are missing, use the DELETE command with the NOSCRATCH option to remove the VVDS entry from the extraneous catalog. If any data sets are missing from the volume, recover the data sets in their entirety. Multivolume data sets require that all volumes are recovered together, not just the affected volume. Occasionally, a VVDS might have a record for a data set which no longer exists, or for which there is no corresponding BCS entry. The VVDS contains VVRs for all VSAM data sets and objects, and on SMS-managed volumes, NVRs for non-VSAM data sets.
