Have a VSAM Cluster that was allocated incorrectly on our TEST System to a non existent VOLUME during a reorg attempt. First attempt at deletion removed (C) (D) and (I), now this is what is left.

Now I can't get rid of this entry, each attempt to DELETE tries to mount that non-existing Volume.

DIAGNOSE on the User Catalog shows this

HHVO1.HX.HX.T100.HXNRAM.V (A)

I'm certainly not a VSAM expert, so my apologies, .........any thoughts?

Try DELETE xxx NOSCRATCH NONVSAM

That was Fast, worked like a charm............Thanks much.........
