Thanks guys, I feel so much better. That's why i couldn't remember the
command, there isn't one.
There are tons of these at our site and they are all left over from many
many moons ago.

The one in deferred rollin state is G0049V00
whereas the (say) 2 entries are G0934V00 and G0935V00

a DEFERRED generation is not really part of the base. In the catalog,

This could happen if G0049V00 was restored by DFSMSdss
after it had rolled out of the GDG and the number of
generations was already at the limit or the TGTGDS
parameter was set or allowed
Tom,
However, there is a flag in the NVR that says I am a deferred
generation (probably in the catalog as well) and I don't know what
trouble that might cause later.
Wouldn't that be the same flag, Bruce? As I understand it, the BCS just
points to the volume and everything else is kept in
Somethings, like the SMS classes are stored in BOTH the catalog and
VVDS. I don't recall if the GDG flag is among them (I'm at home now,
no references)
now that I am at the office, I verified that there is an attribute byte
that is both in the catalog and the NVR (if it is SMS) for GDGs. It

the BCS documented?
Unfortunately, nowhere. There was the infamous Catalog Diagnosis
Reference which had catalog and VVDS layouts but the last version was

I believe that the SMS class names and this SMS attribute byte are the

ALTER gdg.name.GVxx ROLLIN
I use IDCAMS delete command to delete the dataset:
DELETE

If you do not rollin the GDS, the next time that someone attempts
to create a +1 generation, the system will locate it and write
over it. You really want to
