I am trying to delete a GDG generation which does not have a corresponding base. I am using the IDCAMS delete statement. When i run this thru JCLPREP scan, it gives me an error message
0JCP0546E GDG index not built for 'GDGname.G0012V00'

I also tried IEFBR14 and get the same message.

Is it possible to delete a GDG generation, which does not have a base? If yes, how?

Is it also possible to delete the index and still have generations of that GDG?

I dunno how this production GDG ended up in that state....


Thanks
Vineet

I guess you can have a generation(uncatalogued) if the gdgbase is created with NOSCRATCH parameter.

I guess your generation falls into that category as the , the rolled off generation data set is disassociated with its generation data group.
