Subject: IBM Supported method to empty PDS in Batch
I have dug high and low and have not been able to find a way to
empty a
PDS that meets the following requirements:
1) Executes in batch
2) Provided and ***supported*** by IBM (not CBT, not DIY rexx
code, not
requiring SAS/PDSMAN/PDSFAST/etc...)
Am I missing something totally obvious? If so, how is it done?
If there is in fact no such capability, can anyone explain why on
Earth
that might be?
Would it be that hard to add the capability to IEBCOPY say?
The only IBM-supported method to empty a PDS is to delete it and
reallocate it.
Well there is always IEHPROGM or IDCAMS but you must issue a scratch
request for each member. If you don't know what members exist you can
massage the file to create iehprogm/IDCAMS control cards.
But if you want an easy way delete/create the pds as you say.

Tom Conley
