Classification: Confidential DELETE 'datasetname' (NSCR if needed). Use ISPF Hex edit to match the existent entries.
Alternatative REPRO MERGECAT (entries or level) to a "dummy ucat" and after the REPRO activities are complete, delete the "dummy ucat". There is an IDCAMS sub-parameter to allow deletion of a non-empty UCAT.

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.] 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?
