DEL 'remaining component names' vvr file(xxx) Where file(xxx) points to the volume in question. *MUST* be done in batch unless you have authorized IDCAMS under TSO.. Follow by DIAGNOSE and EXAMINE for all catqalogs.... HTH, <snip> Without delving into the saga of how we got here, a week ago a whole bunch of ICF catalogs turned up missing their index component cat-name.CATINDEX. We recovered most of them. One is still broken, but there is nothing of value there. I just want it to go away. Rather than beg the storage folks to recover it just for deletion, I'd like to just expunge. But when I try DEL cat-name on the BCS, I get IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 14 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLFK-0 This message kindly tells me that the catalog is broken, specifically missing a 'required cell'. No kidding. Anyone know a heavy handed method to just smash it to smithereens? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
