I have run an IDCAMS diagnose on a volume to find non-existent catalog entries . I tried DELETE VVR/NVR/TRUENAME to no avail. How can I get rid of the stranded catalog references in the VVDS?
Respectfully, Willie C. Rouse I've used this in the past. MAL705 is a volser. Can't remember anymore if the CATALOG.FHMWPLEX.UCAT actually existed when I ran the job or not. I also couldn't begin to tell you what OS level we were at when I used it. Whatever you do, DON'T forget the NOSCRATCH. I'd recommend setting up a test case to run against before doing it on a live volume. ddk //***************************************************** //* DELETE PTR FROM VVDS BACK TO A CATALOG //***************************************************** //STEP01 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //MAL705 DD DSN=SYS1.VVDS.VMAL705,VOL=SER=MAL705, // DISP=SHR,UNIT=SYSALLDA //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * DELETE SYS1.VVDS.VMAL705 CL NOSCRATCH FILE(MAL705) - CAT(CATALOG.FHMWPLEX.UCAT) This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
