DEL3435 Command

CRI=(VSAMORG,EQ,BROKEN)

CA Disk can detect orphaned VSAM data sets or components with this command. The DEL3435 command lets you delete orphaned (broken) VSAM data sets.

Note: Use this command with care. If used improperly, unrecoverable DATA LOSS can occur.

The DEL3435 command tells CA Disk to delete VSAM orphaned VVRs that satisfy the selection criteria. The delete is done without taking a backup copy of the data set. DEL3435 must precede a SCAN REALVOLS command to select orphaned VVRs. The delete message identifies the VVRs in MSGPRINT by the following message:

ADSST203 3435 CLUSTER NAME COULD NOT BE DETERMINED FOR VSAM COMPONENT dsn ON VOLUME volser

Use this command with care. Always run it in SIMULATE mode first to determine exactly which VVRs are deleted. CA Disk does not make a backup copy of the data set during DEL3435 delete processing. Recovering the data set, if necessary, can be in serious jeopardy.
