RELATED IDEAS

A catalog entry for a VSAM data set with wrong catalog backwards reference in the VVR should not be deleted with RC50 RSN88

DELETE attemps of datasets with a wrong catalog in the VVR get rc50 rsn 88.
The entry is deleted from the catalog, but not from the volume.
This creates an inconsistency between catalog an volume
content.

The clients says it would have been better if in that case the data set is not uncataloged. This would prevent follow-on errors in further DB2 processing and would make it easier to recover the datasets which get the 50-88.

    This item is a valid requirement but unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan. If this requirement is high value, please re-open it, or open a new requirement.

    instead of a DELETE you could MERGECAT the entry from the 'wrong' usercatalog (if an entry exists) to the correct one that the alias points to. This would update the backward pointer in the VVR and the dataset should become visible through the standard catalog search order. Assumes there's no like named entry in the target catalog of course.
