Explanation
A Catalog is about to be deleted with the RECOVERY
option, which means that the VSAM volume record (VVR) and VTOC for
the catalog will be deleted.
- If you respond Y or YES, IDCAMS processes the command replacing
the user catalog with an import backup copy and deletes the specified
user catalog along with its VSAM Volume Record (VVR) and VTOC entries.
The VVR and DSCB for each object in the catalog are not deleted.
- If you respond N or NO, the system ends the delete process with
a return code of 8.
In the message text:

- The catalog being deleted.
