Yes, they're macros, not commands, but I think you can conjure a little program to us that.

Nit. :>Is requiring exclusive access a problem? As documented in "DFSMS Using Data Sets": :>"A PDSE member is not actually deleted while in use. Any program connected to the member when the delete occurs can continue to access the member until the data set is closed. This is called a deferred delete." :>Oh, BTW, all aliase of that [PDSE] member will also be deleted when you delete a member. Exclusive to the dataset. It may be in use. The member will not be. :>>There is IEHPROGM, but I would as soon just avoid it. :>Good. What about utilities and IDCAMS? Great.
