I have seen where an ALTER NAME was
done but the user forgot the DATA and
INDEX components. So the CLUSTER was the new name but
the DATA and INDEX
were still the old name.
If you have a product like FILEAID or VANTAGE, you might be
able to see if
that was done.
Just some questions.
Is the catalog shared or unique?
The catalog is unique
Are the datasets on different volumes - is one cataloged and
the other not cataloged?
The dsns - CLUSTER/DATA/INDEX are cataloged on another volume -SYS001
Are you sure the one on the other volumes are not used?
Yes, the orphan compoents which reside on SYS013 are not used
Do a LISTC ENT('myvsamfile') ALL
Review the list of volsers it is on. Make sure you
have a unique uncataloged VSAM dataset.
I did the LISTCAT and it shows that the CLUSTER/DATA/INDEX reside on VOLSER
SYS001
If everything is good, then move all the good datasets off
of the volume to
another volume - leaving the VSAM Data/Index where it is.
Then just init the volume. If it is not cataloged,
then you will be safe.
I would go into ISPF 3.4 and put in the VSAM file and VOLSER
in the panel.
Then when you bring it up, to a LISTC ENT(/) ALL and see if
maybe there is a
mismatch between some other cluster and that DATA/INDEX
I did that and it dsns - DATA/INDEX - are the same as those on SYS001.
