Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this little problem:

I have an ML2 dataset that doesn't have a record in the MCDS. Therefore I cannot delete the dataset, even with a purge...nor can I recall it. I have been looking through the FIXCDS, but don't feel comfortable if that is the right way to go with this problem. An audit shows that there is a backup version of this dataset, but recovering it while the DS is in ML2 hasn't been successful. Any thoughts?

Thanks!!!!

Have you tried uncataloging it?

Yeah, uncatalog gets a locate error the same as a recall Sad

I am not sure how to get rid of this, this is usually a trial and error situation where we have several different jobs that might get the job done.
Try:
//DELNVSM EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,
// REGION=1024K
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DELETE ABC.ABC +
NONVSAM PURGE NOSCRATCH +
