You can also try: DELETE CATALOG.XXXX.NAME USERCATALOG RECOVERY Since it was deleted with recovery you should define a new catalog and then do the delete without the recovery.

I have no reason to believe it is the most obscure problem in the world; it's just that I am a catalog ignoramus. I *think* the problem is that the catalog is cataloged but the underlying dataset does not exist. Does that make sense? If I enter an ISPF 3.4 D against it ISPF tells me "Dataset not found." That's a problem, right? If I enter a U against it ISPF tells me Catalog/uncatalog request via SVC 26 failed, return code = 60, reason code = 4, module id = FM. Thanks for your help. I believe I would be fine if I could just delete it and start over. I don't know quite how this situation came to be.
