DEL 'dsn' NVR FILE(DD1) HTH, -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Rob Schramm Sent: Monday, November 28, 2016 11:46 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Rename in-process catalog issue I am looking at some nonvsam catalog entries that indicate that a rename has started. The problem is that the volume that the datasets used to reside on does not exist anymore. I have tried DELETE NOSCRATCH which indicates that a rename is in-process and to try ALTER .. ALTER won't work either. My understanding of the special non-supported IBM tool to fix weird issues with VVDS entries.. is that it won't help because I don't actually have a VVDS. Ideas?
