I wanted to let everyone that I have been able to remove the migrated dataset names from the catalog. Lizette Koehler suggested that try using ARCCATGP which is a RACF group. If you are connected to this group you can delete migrated datasets without first recalling them. I issued the RACF command:
CONNECT WR99900 GROUP(ARCCATGP) AUTHORITY(USE) I then added GROUP=ARCCATGP to my job card and executed IDCAMS with the DELETE and NOSCRATCH control statements and got RC=0. I'm glad to resolve this. My thanks to everyone who responded to my posting.

These datasets had been migrated with DFHSM many years ago. My organization is no longer running the product. I am attempting to remove the dangling catalog entries which appears to be challenging. The pubs say to use IEHPROGM with the SCRATCH function if (1) the dataset is non-SMS managed and (2) you know the dataset's volser prior to migration. I don't what the original volser was and I don't know why it matters. The catalog entry has only the dataset name and "MIGRAT" for the volser. When I execute IEHPROGM, I get messages denoting that DFHSM is not active. I am unable to move past this point. Does anyone have an idea how the catalog entries can be removed? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
