Starting in z/OS 1.13 any JES2 sysout dataset can be "spun"
Add the keyword SPIN=(UNALLOC,xxx) on the sysout JCL.
Where xxx is one of:
• ‘hh:mm’ – Spin data set at specified time

Do the entries for the clusters also exist in the USERCAT? If so, you
should specify the cluster name in the DELETE ... NOSCRATCH command.
If not, you need to figure out how the cluster was deleted but not the data
component and prevent it from happening again.

Still stuck. To rehash, here is the situation:
1) Orphaned DATA component entry exists in an active USERCAT
2) Cluster entry for the orphaned DATA component doesn't exist
3) Volume pointed to by the orphaned DATA component doesn't exist, so the DATA
component does not physically exist
4) USERCAT
