Title: z/OS V1R12.0 DFSMS AMS for Catalogs

I read:
20.2.13 Delete a Member of a Partitioned (Non-VSAM) Data Set in a Catalog:
Example 13
...
DELETE -
EXAMPLE.NONVSAM2 -
PURGE -
CATALOG(USERCAT4)
The [second] DELETE command deletes all remaining members and then
the partitioned non-VSAM data set, EXAMPLE.NONVSAM2, itself...
That seems terribly wasteful to me. Why delete all the members first?
Wouldn't it suffice to delete "the partitioned non-VSAM data set [] itself."
The members won't be there after that, will they? Ghosts? Who you
gonna call?
