I have several VSAM data components in one of my USERCATs that are cataloged to volumes that no longer exist. I've searched extensively on how this might be done, and have tried several variations of the IDCAMS DELETE command without success, including DELETE <entry> NOSCRATCH, DELETE <entry> TRUENAME. I even attempted to REPRO MERGECAT the orphaned entries to a new, temporary USERCAT that I planned to simply delete if the MERGECAT was successful. Any ideas on how to eliminate these undesired and orphaned catalog entries? Keep in mind that the volumes these entries are pointing to do not exist on my system.
