As others have said, DEL 'dsname' NSCR will fix you up. However, I am aware of at least one other product that also uses this convention. Be careful!
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Rodatz, William J Sent: Friday, August 18, 2017 10:41 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Removing Catalog Entries for Datasets That Do Not Exist Hello Everyone, Recently I discovered some datasets with "MIGRAT" as the volser. These datasets had been migrated with DFHSM many years ago. My organization is no longer running the product. I am attempting to remove the dangling catalog entries which appears to be challenging. The pubs say to use IEHPROGM with the SCRATCH function if (1) the dataset is non-SMS managed and (2) you know the dataset's volser prior to migration. I don't what the original volser was and I don't know why it matters. The catalog entry has only the dataset name and "MIGRAT" for the volser. When I execute IEHPROGM, I get messages denoting that DFHSM is not active. I am unable to move past this point. Does anyone have an idea how the catalog entries can be removed? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
