- O.K. so someone here deleted a user catalog and some page space. When
- they did so, they included a PURGE in the delete command.
- But, for some reason, the data sets were only uncatalogged, and the
- VSAM space for the user catalog and the page spaces are still out there.
-
- I can import connect the user catalog, but if I try to use it (or
- do a LISTCAT on it), I get a strange error. Implies to me that the file
- is corrupted. I suppose I could repro another catalog into it to get
- good records out there.
-
- The bottom line is that I want to get rid of the VSAM space for these
- buggerts. I've tried user delete with truename, but it doesn't work.
- (Get a ENTRY NOT FOUND.)
-
- I'd rather not have to zap the vtoc to get rid of these buggerts.
- Especially since then, I'll have to clean up the VVDS as well.
-
- Anyone have any ideas how I can blow these allocated VSAM spaces away?
- Currently, there is NO catalog entry related to these truenames.
-
- Thanks.
