DEL 'entryname' NSCR Or DEL 'vvdsname' NSCR -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rodatz, William J Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2017 10:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: VSAM Catalog Entries and no Disk Device & VVDS
Hi Everyone, I have encountered some VSAM catalog entries that are associated with a disk volume that no longer exists. I would imagine someone reinitialized the device without first moving the datasets. In this case, there is no physical device and no VVDS. I have made many attempts to remove the catalog entries but each attempt results in an allocation of the missing device. Has anyone successfully removed VSAM catalog entries under these circumstances? Thank you!
