Hi, I am trying to expire a volume that has a catalog on it. The only entry in the catalog is the VVDS for the volume it resides on. I attempted:
DELETE SYS1.VVDS.VABST01 FILE(DD1) SCR - CATALOG(CATALOG.TABS) I got: IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 50 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLE1-14 I printed the VVDS and some entries for a few catalogs, so I attempted: DELETE CATALOG.VVNSTSO - FILE(DD1) VVR - CATALOG(CATALOG.TABS) I got: IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 90 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLFP-38 The 38 says that the VVR or DSCB doesn't exist. This particular catalog does not exist. Beside the self describing records these are the only entries in the VVDS: *.8..VVCR................CATALOG.* *TABS * * ............CATALOG.VVNSTSO * * ....* *........CATALOG.VTSOPK1 * * ............* *CATALOG.VVNSTEST * Two of the 3 meet the criteria of the reson code 38. One entry is valid. If I delete the VVR from this VVDS will it scratch the DSCB for it ? It is a valid catalog. How can I clean this up so I can get rid of the catalog cleanly.
