BPXWDYN sounds promising. It's complicated by the fact that at
the point at which Roger wishes to delete, the data set is not
yet catalogued. If he allocates specifying unit and volume,
what happens when deallocation attempts to catalog a data set
not in the VTOC.
If he uses DYNALLOC (SVC 99) and does a DEALLOCATION with an overriding
disposition of DELETE, the dataset will be deleted from wherever, just
as if DISP=(...,DELETE) had been specified at allocation time. At step
termination the DD is no longer allocated so it will not attempt to do
anything to the dataset.
I have never used BPXWDYN but I assume it can do something equivalent.
