I would recommend FIXPDS RESET, from the PDS package, file 182 on your
cbttape dial, www.cbttape.org. It zeroes out the directory and makes it
look like an empty PDS.
So does IDCAMS DELETE these days (I forget when we added this). Both
likely use STOW INIT.
The guy who wrote the code (thanks, Steve!) tells me we did this in z/OS
V1.12, so all releases that are still in service include this function,
and there is no need to get FIXPDS or write your own code.
(STOW INIT [actually, STOW ... ,I] leaves behind an empty partitioned
data set that need not be compressed.)
