Would a DELETE NOSCR followed by a DEFINE NVSAM do what you want? But the real question is how did a catalog entry for the volume in question get created n the first place? Did a segment of the data set exist on the volume at one time and then get deleted without the catalog being updated (initialize the volume or delete with volser specified)? If so, is the dataset usable with a chunk of it missing?
Does it make a difference if XXXXXX is the first, last, or one of the middle volumes? :>: -----Original Message----- :>: From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On :>: Behalf Of Mark Steely :>: Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2012 2:05 PM :>: To: [email protected] :>: Subject: Cataloged dataset :>: :>: I have a PS dataset that is cataloged to 22 volumes.
