IDC3558I   FORCE OPTION IS INVALID FOR ENTRY TYPE

Explanation

The FORCE option on the DELETE command can only be used to delete data spaces, generation data groups, and ICF user catalogs, but the FORCE option was specified on a DELETE command for some other type of entry or was used in a generic DELETE with a user catalog object matching the generic pattern. If a user catalog was encountered in a generic DELETE, use the RECOVERY, not FORCE parameter to obtain multiple user catalog DELETEs, instead.

System action

The DELETE command does not complete. The system continues processing.

Programmer response

None.
