> The DEL 'gdgbase' MASK could take out more datasets than you want.
Good catch. Thanks. It seems I wasn't fully awake when I posted my suggestion.
>Which is Why I put in an RFE for DELETE "gdgbase.G####V##" MASK as an
enhancement.
I didn't look at your RFE, but I understand your requirement is exactly
deleting all GDSs of a GDG without deleting the GDG itself. If so, wouldn't a
new function "DELETE entryname GDS" be more clear and easier to use? The GDS
option would require that "entryname" is a GDG, and it would delete all
generation data sets (GDS) currently associated with the GDG.
Questions would be how to handle newly created, but not yet rolled-in GDSs
(jobs running in parallel). And what about new GDS created in step n of a job
running in parallel, and step n+m referring to that GDS? There are probably
more conflicts to think about....
