First you need to list the VVDS to see in what Catalog it was expected to be. If it is the correct one (found by the ALIAS), then just run a DEFINE RECATALOG and then DELETE. If it is pointing to the wrong catalog, you might have problems because since z/OS 1.7 the system does not like it when you try to point to a Catalog. Then you could use IBM's program to fix the VVDS. The program is called VVDSFIX, but I don't remember how I got it. This is how you list the VVDS: //DEFFIL01 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=2M //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=Q //DDVVDS DD DSN=SYS1.VVDS.Vnnnnnn,DISP=SHR,AMP=AMORG,UNIT=SYSDA, // VOL=SER=nnnnnn //SYSIN DD * PRINT INFILE(DDVVDS) SKIP(000) /*
