You have gotten good advice.
When you get an error message, you can do an internet search or search the IBM
Website (www.ibm.com) to see what it means.
So how to determine what is going on? Here are some steps.
1) LISTC ENT('your..data..set..name..here') ALL
If it comes back with DSN NOT FOUND, then there is a problem and the
physical dataset is probably gone.
2) Go to ISPF Option 3.4 and enter the dataset name
When the next panel pops up - scroll using PF11. As you scroll through
the 3.4 panels, if all you see is the DSN but no space, extents or other
details, then all you have is a catalog entry.
Once you have determined the state of the file (it exists or not) - then you
need to delete it with either
a) DEL 'your..data..set..name..here'
If the dataset is a NON VSAM file this will work
If the dataset is a VSAM file, then you need to add NOSCRATCH NOPURGE to
the DEL command.
The actions you need to take is dependent on
1) What are you deleting - VSAM or NONVSAM?
2) Whether the file exists or does not exist - Is it only a catalog entry
Once you have answered these questions, you can delete the file with the
correct subparms on the DEL command.
