Re: How to catalog forgotten VSAM dataset


 

There should be a user catalog where they were created.? Export creates a backup with info to catalog in new catalog.? Import reads the backup and creates the catalog and 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? :(

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
