I'm drawing a blank here; when deleting sequential files (non-vsam) is it possible to use a DD reference in the IDCAMS cards instead of coding the actual dataset name in the DELETE statement? The example below doesn't seem to work for me.
Note: it's been awhile since I've had to use IDCAMS and a look at the guide seems to show it is NOT possible but dang... I swear this was possible. Sigh, how quickly one forgets things. //STEP01 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=4096K //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //INDD01 DD DSN=Q6498.TEST.DATASET, // DISP=(MOD,PASS), // UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(60,5),RLSE) //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * DELETE INFILE(INDD01) PURGE SET MAXCC = 0 ______________________________________________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email from the State of California is for the sole use of the intended recipient and may contain confidential and privileged information.
