I have an entry in the master catalog for a user catalog that does not exist. The volume that the user catalog was cataloged to is no longer on the system, so I have an entry for a user catalog that really does not exist. When I try to delete this entry from the master cat I get the errors below. Can you advise on another option to get rid of this catalog entry?

this is the delete command used del 'CATALOG.Z17MCAT' usercat
I also tried the norecovery option and that failed.

This is the error msg
IDC3016I CATALOG IS NOT AVAILABLE+
IDC0551I ** ENTRY CATALOG.Z17MCAT NOT DELETED
IDC0014I LASTCC=8

Thanks

Try recovery. Also is it disconnected?

Try this:
//DISCON EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=512K
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
EXP CATALOG.NAME +
DISCONNECT
