Delete an uncataloged dataset, suggestions please?

Post by Ajay Chowdhary »

Hi,

I have a dataset that I have uncataloged, so it doesn't show in ISPF 3.4 unless VOLSER is specified. How do I delete it now? Can you please suggest?

Thanks!

if You know the volume add it in the proper entry field when invoking 3.4
and after that delete as if it was cataloged

but ... if the dataset was SMS managed ask Your support to fix things
(not cataloged SMS managed datasets are a symptom of something gone wrong )
cheers

so that I am sure that the information requested can be reached with a very small effort 8-)

Thanks enrico.

I've worked with the Support to get it deleted. I'm not sure what they did but it's deleted now.
