I guess you want to keep the dataset(s) on the same physical volumes.
For the KSDS VSAM file, try ALTERing the dataset with REUSE and then open the dataset as output. I am not sure it will work on a Linear VSAM file, but you can try it.

This is for MQ but really not related. MQ has a number of VSAM files. I need to make these files empty for an upgrade so I can reformat them. I want to do this without deleting and reallocating them. These are linear and KSDS VSAM files. I tried allocating a new Linear VSAM file and REPROing it over... Did not work. I tried reproing an empty non-vsam file over... It did not work. I don't have a utility that will edit VSAM anyhow some are very big.
