Problem with RACF dataset profiles
Hi folks I’m trying to delete some (discrete) dataset profiles that are no longer required. However when I try, I get message: ICH09008I VOLUME INFORMATION IN RACF PROFILE INCONSISTENT WITH CATALOG VOLUME INFORMATION On inspection, I can see that the profiles DO have a volume serial recorded against them. When I try to take this off, I get message: ICH22008I ADDVOL/DELVOL NOT ALLOWED FOR VSAM/MODEL DATASET When I display the profiles, they all have dataset type listed as VSAM, but I don’t know where/how to change this? However, all I really want to do is delete them all – how do I do that (though I would, in the process, like to learn what these parameters are, how they got there, what they’re for, etc) Many thanks Brian -- 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: Problem with RACF dataset profiles
Thanks for that, Ulrich - that worked! Why did it work? What's going on 'under the covers' there?

Re: Problem with RACF dataset profiles
Deleting a discrete profile entails resetting some bits in the Format-1 DSCB. When you specify NOSET, this process is bypassed and no access to VTOC entries is required.
