It looks like all of the responses have suggested using IDCAMS with the DELETE and NOSCRATCH control statements. I tried that last week. I ran the job again this morning. Below is the job log and the control statements I used. As you can see, a call is made to DFHSM to do a recall prior to deletion.

These datasets had been migrated with DFHSM many years ago. My organization is no longer running the product. I am attempting to remove the dangling catalog entries which appears to be challenging. The pubs say to use IEHPROGM with the SCRATCH function if (1) the dataset is non-SMS managed and (2) you know the dataset's volser prior to migration. I don't what the original volser was and I don't know why it matters. The catalog entry has only the dataset name and "MIGRAT" for the volser. When I execute IEHPROGM, I get messages denoting that DFHSM is not active. I am unable to move past this point. Does anyone have an idea how the catalog entries can be removed? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
