Thank you Scott,

This time the procedure does not work, I'm getting an RC 8 from the LMDELETE
(8 - Member not found).

When I copied the data set the members give the error message:
IEB189I DIRECTORY ENTRY §YB4I2QK IN BLOCK READ FROM DDNAME INVOL1   
IS OUT OF SEQUENCE OR DUPLICATE AT TTR X'001D0D'
         MBBCCHHR X'0000000003000E0D'

Both TSO & IDCAMS do not tale a hex character.

I will try the PDS command.

Thank you.
Regards, 
Herman Stocker

Hi,

We have an Endevor controlled PDS that I copied old backup members into 
from
an old version of Endevor.  Since the members are not know by Endevor
anymore they will not be deleted.  All the members begin with a X'FE' as
it's first character.

Would anyone have a utility that can be given a hex member name to delete?
Or any ideas as to how to delete these unwanted members?

Thank you.

The PDS command (CBT file 182) can do this.

DELETE X'FE':  to delete all members starting with X'FE'.
