Nearby in the same document:

Haven't we agreed here that IEFBR14 doesn't delete data sets?  Hasn't
IBM learned this yet?

I think they are thinking of executing IEFBR14 (which does nothing but immediately return to the initiator and allow the next step in the job stream to execute) to cause that step's DD Statement's DISP to take effect. IOW:

//DELETE EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DD1    DD   DSN=FILE1,DISP=(OLD,DELETE)
//DD2    DD   DSN=FILE2,DISP=(OLD,DELETE)
//DD3    DD   DSN=FILE3,DISP=(OLD,DELETE)

etc.
