I assume that by "Rexx" you mean TSO; the same could be done from the TSO
command line or from ISPF DSLIST.  The TSO DELETE command seems particularly
clever: apparently it will internally conditionally perform HDELETE.

Is there no specific JCL EXEC PGM= interface to HSM?  The first few
examples I scanned in the Guide all use PGM=IKJEFT01.  What's ARCUTIL?
A search of publibz returns only a meager list of references.

BTDT.  Someone on a UNIX client issued a wildcarded command that caused
recall of several thousand NFS-exported data sets.
