Issue/Introduction

Have an issue deleting an RMF rule:

The SYSIN is:

DELRTN DSN(DAILY.ABC126P.AM-JOB) JOB(*) OWNER(BOBBKUP   00074999)  

Getting the following error message:
                                             
0001 CAT3391E RECORD FOR DELRTN IS NOT IN THE RMF                          
     CAT3307I NO UPDATES DUE TO ERRORS                                     
     CAT3308I END OF RMF UPDATE REPORT    RC =.08      

The entry in the RMF looks to be correct.

0   DSN=DAILY.ABC126P.AM-JOB  
RTN(7DC                                            ) OWNER(BOBBKUP          00074999)                                         
                    

Environment

Release : 14.0

Component :

Cause

The RMF entry in question was created before the RMF pattern masking feature was released. You can see this entry is a specific entry by the '0' in front of the DSN.

The '-' in the AM-JOB part of the DSN is being treated as a pattern masking character. 

Resolution

To delete this entry, we need to add a '/' in front of the '-'. The '/' parm will treat the '-' as a true character and not a pattern masking wild card character. 

Example to delete the entry:

DELRTN DSN(DAILY.ABC126P.AM/-JOB) JOB(*) OWNER(BOBBKUP   00074999)
