Hi,
I am trying to delete a dataset (this was originally a VSAM dataset and had huge amount of records) but it throws "volume not available". I am not able to use any other option (like I, R etc) as well on this dataset. I have to delete this dataset and need to define it again. Can anybody help me on this.
Thanks |

Do you get any other info too?
When you get the error, please press F1 (possibly two times for more complete info). |

| Your best option is to contract your site support group and work with them. They can find out why the message is showing up and will know what to do about it. |

When does this error come? When you locate the DS using ISPF 3.4 and issue "Delete"?
A very vague suggestion, try LISTCAT and see what it offers and before you throw yourslef in to a towel with my suggestion, contact your Site Support Group as Robert has said. |

I am trying deleteing the multivolume VSAM file and it throws the below error
| Code: |
| VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 60 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLFM-4 |
.
While doing a syntax scan in JCl it throws the below information:
| Code: |
NO "3390" UNITS ARE AVAILABLE FOR "####XX"
VOLUME "####XX" - VOLUME IS NOT MOUNTED |
what should be the approach in order delete this multivolume vsam file.

Hi All,
Issue is resolved and I am able to delete the file now. I simply used the below IDCAMS DELETE command.
| Code: |
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DELETE (AAA.BBB.CCC.FILE) -
NONVSAM NOSCRATCH

Thank you. |
