Looks like someone managed to create an invalid dataset name by accidentally specifying JCL with a dataset name in quotes, e.g., //DD1 DD DSN='MILDCOP.NPR256D.CNTLNLDSVOLD',DISP=...etc.
To delete the dataset, try an IEFBR14 - step with //DD1 DD DSN='MILDCOP.NPR256D.CNTLNLDSVOLD',DISP=(OLD,DELETE,DELETE) and see what happens.
