I would have recommended that you create a catalog entry with IDCAMS DEFINE NVSAM. But since you have subsequently catalogued it as a USERCAT (courtesy of IMPORT CONNECT), I don't know. Can you do an EXPORT DISCONNECT to uncatalog it and then try the DEFINE NVSAM. Be sure to catalog it in the correct catalog.

I have tried to delete using the NVR parameter and get error IDC3009I return code 50 reason 88 which states 88 Explanation: A VVR or NVR with the correct component name was found, but the catalog name did not match. On a delete request, the BCS record will be deleted, but the VVR or NVR and the format 1 DSCB will not be scratched. There is no SFI data. Programmer Response: No action is required because this code is for information only. which is crazy because its not cataloged.. I have tried creating an alias for this file and cataloging it but that fails also .. I have also tried IEHPGRM scratch which fails .. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
