Dave,
I guess I don't understand: put a corresponding entry into the "dummy" bcs
I created and empty ucat with orphan name. Then tried to delete it with the
following JCL
//VVR EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=512K
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//DD1 DD DSN=SYS1.VVDS.VPP1013,DISP=OLD
//SYSIN DD *
DELETE CATALOG.MVSICFM.VIP1080 NSCR FILE(DD1)
/*
I get:
IDCAMS SYSTEM SERVICES TIME:
DELETE CATALOG.MVSICFM.VIP1080 NSCR FILE(DD1)
IDC3014I CATALOG ERROR
IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 90 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLFK-18
IDC0551I ** ENTRY CATALOG.MVSICFM.VIP1080 NOT DELETED
IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 8

Subject: Re: Orphaned ICF catalog in the VVDS
Hi Willie,
I believe that Allan has hit the nail on the head for the solution, but i think
you may also have to put a corresponding entry into the "dummy" bcs so that the
delete nscr will match up on both sides.
Just tried it on a pack on our sysprog lpar in the same situation, recreated
the "lost" catalog and got an idc3012i on the delete nscr for the
sys1.vvds.vxxxxx.
An inelegant solution but quick and easy would be to disnew the volume, empty
it out (hsm migrate or dfdss copy etc.) then delete the vvds and define a nice
new empty one, then enable the volume back to sms.
Sod's law will probably have it that there's a permanently allocated dataset on
the volume to put the kibosh on that idea!
If you fancy being a guinea pig, theres "VVDSFIX" an unsupported IBM program
you can download.
You can read about and download this tool from this URL:

Was on a share presentation a few years back.
Looks like it could be vaiable.
Never used it, but i'm sure there are people around who have.
Dave
