Since this is an orphaned catalog .... try DELETE ... cat.name VVR and then follow it w/the same delete except change the 'VVR' to an 'NVR'.

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 Respectfully, Willie C.

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: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3S1000618 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.
