You can delete a PDS member in REXX using a basic: ADDRESS TSO 'DELETE 'MY.PDS(MEMBER)' "
As previous posters have indicated, PDS86 is free and does everything. So you can build a list using LISTDS and build from the stem variable. I did build a home grown once which built IEHPROGM deletes, clunky, but you know IEHPROGM has been well tested :). As for the OP on the other post, I'd like to fly without an aeroplane too...But I can't do anything without REXX. Since I'm still leery of PDSE (shame on me!). I'm stuck with IEBCOPY compresses inside my little REXXes....
