Mark, Craig and all that contributed - I ran DIAGNOSE on the USERCAT that contained the entry for the DATA component I was trying to delete and found the associated CLUSTER name. Both the DATA and CLUSTER component names were in the DB2 naming convention that I'm not very familiar with. Once I found the CLUSTER name I was able to issue DELETE <entry> CLUSTER NOSCRATCH against the CLUSTER entry, which deleted both the DATA component and the CLUSTER.
The error message received from the DELETE TRUENAME attempt told the story: Explanation: An incorrect DELETE TRUENAME request was specified. The associated base object exists. Programmer Response: User error. Thanks to all for the help. - Ken > Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2012 14:20:31 -0500 > From: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Unable to Delete Orphaned VSAM Data Components > To: [email protected] > > On Fri, 29 Jun 2012 12:57:31 -0600, Ken French <[email protected]> wrote: > > >Craig - > >Tried your suggesting early on; output below. > >- Ken > > > >DELETE MY.VSAM.DATA - > > > > NOSCRATCH - > > > > CATALOG( - > > > > MY.ACTIVE.USERCAT - > > > > ) > > > >IDC2552I ENTRY TYPE IS INVALID FOR DELETE > > > >IDC0551I ** ENTRY MY.VSAM.DATA NOT DELETED > > > >IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE > >WAS 8 > > > > > http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/DGT2C171/6.4.3?SHELF=DGT2BK91&DT=20100120142539 > > > Also, have you run a DIAGNOSE on the BCS? > > Mark > -- > Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS > mailto:[email protected] > Mark's MVS Utilities: http://www.mzelden.com/mvsutil.html > Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
