DROP FILECAT Command

ZMCS-CMD-DROP (super-group only)

DROP FILECAT removes a file catalog from the DSM/TC subsystem. A file catalog

cannot be removed until all its file entries are deleted with DELETE TAPEFILE.

DELETE TAPEFILE also changes the status of the volume entries associated with a

deleted file entry to SCRATCH or RELEASED.

Remove a file catalog when changing the configuration of your DSM/TC subsystem,

such as when consolidating two file catalogs or splitting a file catalog into two catalogs.
