Are these page datasets? If so, use CSQUTIL and
- to reinstate a page set with no data, use FORMAT with the TYPE(NEW) option For other VSAM datasets, if you have file manager or similar, you can delete the entire contents. Otherwise a simple COBOL program? If you have REXX/CICS, pretty easy to delete all records from a file defined to CICS. If not a sequence of CECI DELETE commands (you can script this if you have a decent terminal emulator such as PCOMM, Vista with a VB type scripting language).
