Looking back at the OP, it seems that a) someone has issued a DEL NSCR on the 
cluster, or b) someone wiped out a volume without properly deleting the data.

I would try DEF CL(HESP.BALFWD.DEFINE) VOL(XXXXXX) RECATALOG). There are a 
number of caveats here. There are a fair number of attributes that must be 
present on the DEF RECAT request and these must match the attributes of the 
original cluster. E.g. If the original cluster was a KSDS, the INDEXED keyword 
must be added to the DEF RECAT request. 
If something is missing or incorrectly specified, the IDC3009I message will 
indicate the possibilities. There are too many to cover in a brief email.

Try to find a recent catalog listing if possible. Otherwise guess, correct, 
retry. Repeat until successful.
Is a backup/dump available? If so, delete the cluster components and recover 
from backup/dump (see below).
Is it possible the cluster has been redefined somewhere else? (after the DEL 
NSCR)

If all else fails, there is no risk in deleting the component(s), since no one 
can access the data.

To delete the component, use IDCAMS in batch:

DEL HESP.BALFWD.DEFINE.DATA VVR FILE(DD1) 

Where DD1 points to the volume in question.

HTH,

I tried out your suggestion however it didn't work :

 LISTC ENT('HESP.BALFWD.DEFINE.DATA') ALL                             
IDC3012I ENTRY HESP.BALFWD.DEFINE.DATA NOT FOUND                      
IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 8 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLEG-42
IDC1566I ** HESP.BALFWD.DEFINE.DATA NOT LISTED                        
IDCAMS  SYSTEM SERVICES

 The cluster name will be in the specified in  the output.
 The most likely name is '
 HESP.BALFWD.DEFINE'

 I am trying to find the
 CLUSTER name of the VSAM components.  We have a daily  diagnose job run on the 
volumes and it picked up the DATA  & INDEX components.

 I do not want to delete them
 because I do not know who is the owner also, I do not know  the impact it 
could cause.  I would like to recatalog the  CLUSTER however I do not know how 
I should go about finding  the name.
 
 Can anybody
 suggest something that could help me track down the CLUSTER  name?
