I'm not sure if it was FDR compact or ADRDSSU that creates an invalid dataset name, usually not cataloged IIRC, to indicate a failure in the compact or reorg process, rerunning the failed process successfully usually removes these entries, in you case I'm not sure if this can help.

I'm thinking a merge-cat (REPRO) or export to a temp and rebuild the catalog should fix this.

Also I think TREX would help if you have the product

Hi all,

We are checking our ICF Catalogs for inconsistencies and come across a
weird situation: we have found in several user catalogs multiple "dataset
names" that can not have been defined by any userid as they do not adhere
to valid dataset name rules; something along the lines of:

IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 50 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLFF-5
IDC1566I ** ......=..................................... NOT LISTED

All of those "." are x'4B'

Now the problem is, how can we delete such entries?
Any ideas?

Jack
