Classification: Confidential Delete NSCR against the VVDS cluster should work; I am not aware of any "automated" way to do this.
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Ed Jaffe Sent: Thursday, July 8, 2021 3:39 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Removing Catalog Reference to VVDS [CAUTION: This Email is from outside the Organization. Unless you trust the sender, Don't click links or open attachments as it may be a Phishing email, which can steal your Information and compromise your Computer.] We found dozens of VVDS references in our catalogs for which the volumes no longer exist. The manual seems to suggest you must create an empty volume and VVDS and DEFINE RECATALOG the VVDS in order to permanently delete/uncatalog it. That seems like an inordinate amount of work, particularly since we have so many of them. Is there no supported utility or freeware tool that can get rid of this detritus? -- Phoenix Software International Edward E.
