My way of dealing with MCAT entries that were NON VSAM was
DEL "name" NOSCRATCH NOPURGE Then just the entry gets deleted.
The AMS manual should have many different types of actions you can take.
DFSMS Access Method Services for Catalogs
Or EXPORT "name" DISCONNECT
24.2.2 Export Disconnect of a User Catalog: Example 2
In this example, the user catalog 387UCAT1 is disconnected from the system.
Its cataloged objects are no longer available to users of the system.
//EXPORT3 JOB ...
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//SYSIN DD *
EXPORT -
G87UCAT -
DISCONNECT
/*
The EXPORT command removes the user catalog connector entry for G87UCAT from
the master catalog. The catalog becomes unavailable to system users until
the system programmer reconnects it to the system, using an IMPORT CONNECT
command. The parameters are:
G87UCAT identifies the object to be disconnected.
DISCONNECT identifies the object as a user catalog. When a user catalog's
connector entry is to be deleted, DISCONNECT is required.
