Actually, the missing NVR (NonVsam Record) as suggested by Allan should have accomplished the task. It basically tells IDCAMS not to fail if the Catalog record is missing.

OOPS. I had forgotten about that parm. My comment should have been phrased to say that IDCAMS is PRIMARILY a catalog orientated utility and that it needs to be told to ignore a catalog or entry missing error for NonVSAM dataset deletion requests to do the same function as that IEFBR14 DISP=(OLD,DELETE).
