At this point, it sounds like you've created a user catalog connector
record in the master catalog that has the same name as the data set. This
really won't help you repair the situation. To remove the user catalog
connector record, use the IDCAMS as follows:
EXPORT <entryname> DISCONNECT
Now back to the original problem...
It sounds like you've turned on the DSORG bit for AM and you've turned off
the SMS indicator in the Format-1 DSCB for this data set in the VTOC.
Since the VTOC now thinks that this is a VSAM data set (as indicated by
DSORG=AM), you might want to try:
//DELVVR EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//DD1 DD VOL=SER=volser,UNIT=3390,DISP=OLD
//SYSIN DD *
DELETE data.set.name -
FILE(DD1) -
VVR
//
Assuming that you successfully remove the Format-1 DSCB, run IDCAMS
DIAGNOSE VVDS for the volume. This should detect and report orphan VVRs or
NVRs in the VVDS for the volume.
If any of these suggestions fail, please provide the message-id, return,
and reason codes.
