Jack, 2 things some to mind,  have you tried to use IDCAMS to delete the entry using NVR (non vsam) file

DELETE FILE(DD1) -

   'COMPONENT' NVR

also I recall, you use FDR to compact volumes, and one volume during compaction fails it leaves a 'pointer' for the lack of a better term as an non standard data set name that cannot be deleted by normal methods, to get rid of the file you need to run the compact job again to a successful end

Hi Allan,
This "thing" has got no description; it is not a NONVSAM nor a VSAM entry.
There is no VOLSER associared with it. I tried using IDCAMS DELETE NONVSAM
but all I got in return was
IDC3203I ITEM '.....|.' DOES NOT ADHERE TO RESTRICTIONS. Which is not
surprising considering that it does have spaces in it.

Regards
Jack

Hi all,

Another situation that come up. Is anyone of you familiar with these
messages:

IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 50 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLFF-5
IDC1566I ** .....|. ...........8..........U.......2..... NOT LISTED

As far as I can see, there is not one dataset with such a name on any of
the available DASD. And yet I have 34 of those messages across 7 user
catalogs (and they can be there for a long time) Aside from a RC(04) on the
LISTCAT CAT(), there seems to be no other issue.
However, I cannot find a way to get rid of those as the dataset name does
not adhere to restrictions.
Any ideas?
jack
