Two ways I have found to accomplish this rather easily. 1) Go to =3.4 and plug in the dasd volser and press enter. Then scroll down until you find your dsn in question. You will then rename it. There should be a prompt that comes up telling/asking you, do you really know what you are doing. As long as you are getting the dsn at the volume level, then proceed with the rename. Then just delete it.
2) Go after the dasd volume from another lpar at the =3.4 screen. If, your volume is shared between lpars. Again, make sure of where you are and find the dsn and delete it. Presuming you have no IMS region running on that lpar also.

I am trying to delete a dsn which resied on VOLA but it is not cataloged. When I try to delete the dsn it gives me the message "Data set in use". I checked via ISRDDN E on the dsn and it shows that is being used by the IMS region. However, there is the same dsn which is cataloged on VOLB which is allocated by the IMS region. Is shutting down the region to delete the dsn the only way to go about it or is there something else that I can try. Thanks for all your help in advance. --------------------------------- Ask a question on any topic and get answers from real people. Go to Yahoo!
