Again, daily digest delay caveat insert... Gil: once in DsList, use sort on any two columns ie. SORT DSORG VOLUME. Then you can move to your grouped clusters (Vol= *VSAM*) for D line commands followed by the Migrate Volumes (Vol=Migrat*) for HDelete. Unfortunately, (in v1.12 anyway), it appears EXCLUDE ALL & FIND ALL only work on the names. (tho' X ALL '.DATA ' & X ALL '.INDEX ' might reduce the displayed information in the DsOrg=VS section)
[No, it *still* doesn't operate in parallel.] Another thought... you wouldn't be lucky enough to use the same number of levels in your test naming scheme ie. HLQ.LV1.LV2.LV3.LLQ[.DATA|.INDEX]? If so, removing "Include Additional Qualifiers" would drop all the .DATA & .INDEX entries. "Do you feel lucky, punk? Do ya? Go ahead, make my day." *grin* Well, even if you have just, say, 3 & 5, it could be done in two lists to ease your burden. Even something like HLQ.**.TST0221.*.* could be viable. --------> signature = 6 lines follows <-------- Neil Duffee, Joe Sysprog, uOttawa, Ottawa, Ont, Canada telephone:1 613 562 5800 x4585 fax:1 613 562 5161 mailto:NDuffee of uOttawa.ca http:/ /aix1.uOttawa.ca/ ~nduffee “How *do* you plan for something like that?” Guardian Bob, Reboot “For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.” “Systems Programming: Guilty, until proven innocent” John Norgauer 2004 -----Original Message----- From: Paul Gilmartin [mailto:pau..g..bo...@ai...com] Sent: February 20, 2014 21:29 Subject: Re: Deleting multiple data sets On Thu, 20 Feb 2014 20:17:46 -0600, Mike Schwab wrote: >HDEL in front of each dataset name, instead of D. >Type HDEL on the first one, = on the rest. > Some of them aren't migrated. But I could go back and get them later. Actually, I think DSLIST is smart enough to DTRT if I just type D. (But I must type DEL rather than D in front of the clusters, else I hang on a prompt. And that fills up my screen so my coffee break is again interrupted, by the "***".) SORT VOL helps a lot. (Is there any way to get DSLIST to show only the PS and PO data sets and the clusters, and omit the .INDEX and .DATA components? I know some people like to see them; to me they're just a distraction.) And it doesn't operate in parallel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
