Delete Entries Associated with a Non-VSAM Object from VVDS and VTOC: Example 5

The following example shows how to delete entries associated with a non-VSAM object from the VVDS and VTOC. The purpose of this command is to clean up the VVDS and VTOC when there are residual records as a result of an error.

//DELET14  JOB   ...
//STEP1    EXEC  PGM=IDCAMS
//DD1      DD    VOL=SER=VSER01,UNIT=3380,DISP=OLD
//SYSPRINT DD    SYSOUT=A
//SYSIN    DD    *
     DELETE -
           EXAMPLE.NONVSAM -
           FILE(DD1) -
           NVR
/*

The above DELETE command deletes the NVR associated with a non-VSAM object from the VVDS and its corresponding entry from the VTOC if they exist. Its parameters are:

• EXAMPLE.NONVSAM, the name of the non-VSAM object. There must not be a BCS entry for this object.
• FILE, specifies the ddname of a DD statement that describes the volume containing the VVDS entry associated with this object.
• NVR, specifies that only the NVR and its corresponding VTOC entry for this object are to be deleted.
