Hi,
How do I delete a non sms dataset with an expiration date using JCL. If the dataset does not have an expiration date, I can use DISP=(SHR,DELETE). If the dataset is sms managed, the OVRD_EXPDT allows the override of the expiration date. Is there a way to accomplish this for non sms datasets? IF I run this job: //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 //DD1 DD DSN=V110.TGBA.TESTDEL,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=3390, // SPACE=(TRK,1),LRECL=80,RETPD=2,VOL=SER=PRJ002 //DEL EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 //DD1 DD DSN=V110.TGBA.TESTDEL,DISP=(SHR,DELETE),RETPD=0 The first step works, and the second step iisues: IEC614I SCRATCH FAILED - RC 008, DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION IS (040B004B), ,PRJ002,V110.TGBA.TESTDEL The 040B004B reason code means that the dataset is not expired. Can anyone help?
