Did you specify the FILE when using IDCAMS DEL NVR?
//****************************************************************
//* DELETES NON-CATALOGED DATASETS WITH IDCAMS
//* USE VVR FOR VSAM DATASETS
//* USE NVR FOR SAM DATASETS
//* CHANGE VOLSER TO MATCH VOLUME THAT DATASET RESIDES ON

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS

//SYSIN DD *
DEL ('DSZZ005.STT00035.VIALOG') NVR FILE(FILE2)

Subject: Delete dataset catch-22
Sent by: "IBM Mainframe Discussion List" <[email protected]>
I'm trying to delete a dataset that is not cataloged any longer. I'm not
sure why it is not in a catalog, but it is not. I've tried to re-catalog
the dataset, but it doesn't catalog.
So I have tried to every combination of IDCAMS DELETE I can think of.
NONVSAM
NVR
etc..
All return
** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 8 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLEG-42 - Dataset
not found.
So I tried IEHPROGM
SCRATCH DSNAME=MARPACE.GODADDY.CERT,VOL=3390=STDL09,PURGE
IEC614I SCRATCH FAILED - RC 008, DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION IS (0406001E),
STEP010,STDL09,MARPACE.GODADDY.CERT
0406001E - Verification of SMS flags failed; caller indicates the data
set
is not cataloged, but the *FMT1 DSCB indicates the data set is cataloged*
So I have no idea how to remove this dataset, IDCAMS won't do it because
it's not in a catalog, and IEHPROGM won't do it because it thinks it is in
a catalog.
Anyone have a suggestion?
Thank you.
