Re: BAD VVRS?
Is there an easier way to do a DELVVR for a VVR that points to a non-existent catalog? With IBM tools, there is no way to DELETE VVR to get rid of a duplicate VVR. What you did is the best way to fix these. As Michael said, there are non-IBM tools which can fix this without disturbing the accurate VVR. -- Bruce A.

Re: BAD VVRS?
All of the product that help maintain catalogs have the ability to delete a specific VVR. The main ones are T-REX from Dino-Software, Catalog Recovery Plus from Mainstar, and Catalog Solutions from EMC. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lester, Bob Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 2:03 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: BAD VVRS? Hi, I'm converting some volumes to SMS and have a VSAM file that: * Was created and cataloged on a particular volume. * The catalog was then deleted. * The file was deleted, but the VVR was not. (?) * The file was recreated and cataloged in a different catalog on the same volume. * The file is accessible and can be opened with no errors. * I seem to have 2 VVRs for the file, one good - one bad. CONVERTV TEST reports the following: ADR724E (001)-FMSCT(03), ERROR DURING LOCATE OF DATA SET INFORMATION FOR DATA SET VPFDT.CHKORD.MFDM0C0G IN CATALOG TSGDP.CAT.SYSTEST, 01-AM-00012-00068 CMI RETURN INFORMATION IS : AH-4-00120 IGW01068T UNEXPECTED RESULTS FROM A CATALOG LOCATE REQUEST. RETURN CODE WAS 4 . REASON CODE WAS X'0078' To fix this, I've been backing up the file, doing an IDCAMS delete (which takes a non-zero return code), then running a DELVVR on the files. Then I reload the file and all is fine. I verify this by running CONVERTV TEST. Is there an easier way to do a DELVVR for a VVR that points to a non-existent catalog?
