You should not do the UNCATALOG if SMS manged.
Personally, I would probably do the process with DFDSS and use RENUNC and
CATALOG parm.
Simpler, easier, and safer

Thanks Lizette,
I was hoping to directly use the underlying services - surely DFDSS uses
this same services?
If so... I wonder what it does?
Is there a programatic way to determine if a data-set is SMS managed?
And, I thought, if the data set were SMS managed that the un-CATALOG would
simply return-code 0 in all cases? So, seems like it would be "safe"
to do?
Would it be reasonable then to always do the un-CATALOG, but simply ignore
a return-code=8 (which in the IDC3009I message documentation kinda hints
that that return-code would happen if the data-set is not in the
catalog - although
it seems to be just a hint.)
