I would appreciate some advice on a problem that I'm having on a development system. We copied some volumes from an old machine, where the data sets where SMS managed to a new system where SMS is really not set up and we would prefer to keep it that way.
We exported the old usercat that had the datasets on these volumes and then imported it to a new usercat on the new system, which worked fine. But the problem is that we can't delete any of the old datasets, since they still have the old SMS "storclass" in the VVDS (I think). - ISPF delete just says "Deallocation failed" - TSO/IDCAMS delete does this: delete ftp.data IDC0550I ENTRY (A) LISA.FTP.DATA DELETED IDC3014I CATALOG ERROR+ IDC3009I VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 50 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLFO-88 IDC0551I ENTRY LISA.FTP.DATA NOT DELETED IDC0014I LASTCC=8 RC(8) So the data set is uncataloged, but remains on the volume and the VVDS. This error is documented here: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.ieam600/bb3009i.htm *88* *Explanation:* A VVR or NVR with the correct component name was found, but the catalog name did not match. On a delete request, the BCS record will be deleted, but the VVR or NVR and the format 1 DSCB will not be scratched. There is no SFI data. *Programmer Response:* No action is required because this code is for information only. Does anyone have any suggestions other than to try to migrate the missing SMS definitions? We have crap for skills and that area, so an alternative would be appreciated. One workaround would be something that would scratch an uncataloged SMS dataset (and remove from the VVDS). Will IEHPROGM do this? It doesn't seem like it: SCRATCH DSNAME=LISA.JOB.LOG,VOL=3390=(VPWRKB),PURGE IEH207I STATUS OF USERS REQUEST TO SCRATCH DATA SET LISA.JOB.LOG VOLUME I.D. ACTION TAKEN REASON FOR TAKING THIS ACTION ERROR VPWRKB NONE CORRECT PASSWORD NOT AVAILABLE *** Thanks for any help...
