DELETE Command Syntax

DELETE DISP=

DELETE DISP= is the catalog action for each data set processed.

UNCAT

Default value. This value causes CA Disk to uncatalog the data set when it is deleted.

RECAT

To recatalog to the CA Disk pseudo-volser after deletion, specify this value. RECAT makes the data set a candidate for auto-restore through the CA Disk Catalog Management hook. Back up the data set before starting to auto-restore the data set successfully.

Important! This disposition parameter with the RECATPSUr system parameter, catalog to the pseudo-volser an uncataloged version of the selected data set. The recommended setting, unless you specifically know you want the uncataloged version, is RECATPSUn. RECATPSUr limits only cataloged versions that are selected for cataloging to the pseudo-volser.

NOCAT

To take no catalog action against the data set, specify NOCAT. CA Disk deletes the data set from DASD and leaves it cataloged to the original volser. If SMS-managed data sets are deleted with NOCAT, CA Disk uses the value UNCAT.
