Issue/Introduction

When trying to access the Element getting the message ENDE092E

when trying to delete the element getting the message  C1E0116E  RC=1708-0002 ALLOCATION ERROR  - <lvl1>.<lvl2>.DELTA   

Environment

z/OS any Endevor release

Cause

The BASE and/or the DELTA files are missing. They may have been deleted. 

Resolution

Run a SCL DELETE. This is the Endevor standard delete:

 SET STOPRC 16.                                 
 DELETE ELEMENT "<element>"                         
    FROM ENVIRONMENT "<env>"                     
         SYSTEM "<system>"  SUBSYSTEM "<subsystem>"        
         TYPE "<type>"  STAGE "<stage>"                  
    OPTIONS.      

This will cause the Element to delete. Expect error messages and a non zero condition code.       

This part of the output:

C1G0202I  ACTION #1 / STMT #2

END OF EXECUTION LOG - HIGHEST ENDEVOR RC = 0012                                                                                 

Additional Information

If the problem is that output component datasets are missing. Then change the existing processor group's delete processor to *NOPROC*

for example:

DELETE PROCESSOR   ===> *NOPROC*
