How to catalog forgotten VSAM dataset


 

Hi all,


First of all, I am a complete NOOB related to an enormous list of
things, at the top of the list are VSAM datasets a catalogs :(

Long time ago I have installed KICS V1R5M0 in a DASD of an old
installation of Tk? This virtual DASD got forgotten in a corner of
my desktop system (Linux Xubuntu 22.04). Now I decided to connect this
virtual DASD to my Tk5. There is no catalog in that DASD, at the time
I just cataloged to the "default" catalog. (Is it the master?)

When I open the content of that DASD in RFE DSLIST all the datasets
are uncatalogued. I can use the "C" selection code to catalog the
datasets. Except for the VSAM datasets, I succeed to catalog all non
VSAM datasets.

I am not allowed, by the system, to do anything to those VSAM
datasets. So, if possible, I would like to as for a set of JCL
examples that would allow me to:

1- Catalog those uncatalogued ones
2- Delete a VSAM dataset

Any simple example (for a NOOB) would be very much appreciated.

BTW, would it be easier if I have created a catalog on that DASD?
Would it be possible to create it now, or does it have to be done on a
empty DASD? Any direction on the subject?


TIA
