Sorry gang. I got pulled away on other fires and forgot to update what happened.
As somnone had suggested, I went to the HSM Storage Administration Guide, Chapter 5.1.9 - Case 9. Reestablish Access to Previously Deleted Mugrated Data Sets (No Backup Exists, ML2 Only) at http://tinyurl.com/m5weqj And it provided instructions and examples to do this. Dunno why I didn't see it before. Since I was recovering a flat file PDS (VSAM is a bit more complicated) all I essentially had to do was.... - define the non-vsam file to my catalog with a volser of MIGRAT - Be sure the HSM assigned bit was turned on - recall the data set Piece of cake. Thanks to everyone for your help getting me on track.
