Horse manure - never has been true.
Gotta stop believing all those manuals the SMS team put out John .... ;-)
Go run a "DEL NSCR" against an SMS dataset - works fine.
True, DELETE NOSCRATCH does work on a SMS dataset if you have the
appropriate authority. From the "Managing Catalogs" manual
"For non-VSAM data sets and VSAM clusters, alternate indexes, and page
spaces, the DELETE command with the NOSCRATCH option removes the BCS
entries. If you define the appropriate RACF FACILITY class, only
authorized users are allowed to use NOSCRATCH on SMS-managed data sets."
But even if you do so, try to use the dataset as an uncataloged
dataset. If you reference a SMS volume in JCL, allocation does an
automatic LOCATE to get the real volser, and fails the allocation if it
is not cataloged.
