Delete dataset stupid question
I've got some datasets on a volume that are not cataloged anywhere. I think that I deleted a catalog before I deleted the datasets it contained. I've not come up with a way to delete them. I've tried IEHPROGM SCRATCH DSNAME=HISTCAT.DSNDBD.LANDMARK.TDB2SUMM.I0001.A001, C VOL=3390=STD001,PURGE IDCAMS //DD1 DD DISP=OLD,UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=STD001 DELETE HISTCAT.DSNDBD.LANDMARK.HISTDABP.I0001.A001 SCRATCH FILE(DD1) DELETE HISTCAT.DSNDBD.LANDMARK.HISTDABP.I0001.A001 PRG NVSAM FILE(DD1) DELETE HISTCAT.DSNDBD.LANDMARK.HISTDABP.I0001.A001 NVR FILE(DD1) All of which basically complain that SMS believes that the dataset is cataloged, which it is not. How can I remove these datasets? -- Mark Pace Mainline Information Systems 1700 Summit Lake Drive Tallahassee, FL. 32317 -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: Delete dataset stupid question
I would try using ISMF (Yes the ONLINE FUNCTION) to delete the datasets rather than IEHPROGM. Lizette I've got some datasets on a volume that are not cataloged anywhere.
