I've got a PDSE that has it's NVR in one catalog and it's catalog entry in a different one. And, of course, the dataset is SMS managed. Argh. Please don't ask how it happened, I do not know. I have been trying in vain to clean this up as ADRDSSU will not dump the dataset which is causing some backup jobs to fail. The error is: ADR793E (001)-DTDSC(01), DATA SET,SYS1.DSNLOAD,ON VOLUME SYS021 IS AN INCONSISTENT PDSE AND CANNOT BE DUMPED which basically states the VTOC and VVDS don't match. I have tried getting rid of the NVR, which fails with RC50 REASON=88 (IDC3009I) : 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. I've tried a DELETE NONVSAM with the volser to no avail. I've tried a delete noscratch - which doesn't work either but even if it did, it only gets rid of the BCS entry, not the VVDS/NVR. The dataset itself is not having problems with any normal use; it is linklisted and used by DB2 & CICS without error. I have a new PDSE with the contents of the corrupt dataset ready to go but I have yet to find a way to get rid of the bad one. The DFSMSdfp Diagnosis says the delete is failing with an 'SMS validation failure', (ya think!?) and to use regular procedures to correct the entry. Any body have a guess as to which unexplained 'regular procedures' might be? I've tried just about everything in the Managing Catalogs Manual that's applicable and nothing has worked yet.
