Please post the results from idcams DEF RECATALOG. I have seen *VERY FEW* cases that could not be resolved via some combination of DEF RECATALOG, DEL NSCR, DEL VVR, DEL NVR.
HTH, -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Mark Pace Sent: Thursday, February 8, 2018 1:38 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Delete dataset catch-22 I'm trying to delete a dataset that is not cataloged any longer. I'm not sure why it is not in a catalog, but it is not. I've tried to re-catalog the dataset, but it doesn't catalog. So I have tried to every combination of IDCAMS DELETE I can think of. NONVSAM NVR etc.. All return ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 8 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLEG-42 - Dataset not found. So I tried IEHPROGM SCRATCH DSNAME=MARPACE.GODADDY.CERT,VOL=3390=STDL09,PURGE IEC614I SCRATCH FAILED - RC 008, DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION IS (0406001E), STEP010,STDL09,MARPACE.GODADDY.CERT 0406001E - Verification of SMS flags failed; caller indicates the data set is not cataloged, but the *FMT1 DSCB indicates the data set is cataloged* So I have no idea how to remove this dataset, IDCAMS won't do it because it's not in a catalog, and IEHPROGM won't do it because it thinks it is in a catalog. Anyone have a suggestion?
