IDC2552I   ENTRY TYPE IS INVALID FOR DELETE

Explanation

The caller attempted to delete an entry type that cannot be deleted. The only types of entries that can be deleted are as follows:
  • Cluster
  • User
  • Catalog
  • Master catalog
  • Non-VSAM
  • Space
  • Alias
  • GDG base
  • Path and alternate index

System action

The system does not delete the entry. The rest of the entries are deleted if possible.

System programmer response

If the error recurs and the entry type is listed as valid in the LISTCAT, search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the JCL and the SYSOUT output for the job.

Programmer response

If the caller thinks the entry is one of these types, he should list that entry with LISTCAT to check the type field.
