1) execute IEHLIST to produce list of members
2) use any report writer to parse output and create appropriate input to 
...
3) IEHPROGM to delete members
4) IEBCOPY lib to itself to clean up directory

you only need to test the programs that you want to work correctly

Re: [IBM-MAIN] Delete all members of a PDS that is allocated

It is going to depend.

You can write a REXX that uses the LM functions to delete a member.
If you have PDSMAN with FASTCOPY you can ZERODIR.
If you have SAS you can KILL a pds.

And I am sure there are other ways. 
The requirement is that the dataset is enqueued with DISP=SHR and that the
SCHEDULER does not try to load from it when you are emptying it.
