ISPF 3.4 (nor IEFBR14) won't work for an SMS controlled data set. I couldn't get ISMF to work either. The Delete NVR didn't work either. I had to dump the VVDS - find out what catalog the dataset pointed to. Which was the old master catalog and execute an IDCAMS delete with the catalog specified.

I am not sure how this happen, but I have an un-cataloged dataset on an SMS managed volume. It won't let me delete this dataset because it is un-cataloged (it wont let me do anything with it since it is uncatalogued). Is there an easy way to delete this dataset.

OTOH, DEFINE NONVSAM RECATALOG probably would. But if DELETE is the goal, DELETE NVR or ISMF DELETE is the way to go.
