While installing a new version of the PDS command-one that works on z/OS 2.3 as 
previously discussed here-we need to empty existing libraries in order to 
refill them with new members. Without a working PDS command, we had to find a 
different way to accomplish FIXPDS RESETDIR.

I finally remembered the relatively new DELETE pds-dsn(*), which accomplishes 
the task nicely. However, like IDCAMS DELETE in general, my testing indicates 
that it wants exclusive enqueue on the PDS. Not a problem for most PDS data 
sets, but a link listed library must contend with XCFAS and LLA. I know that 
both of those can be handled fairly easily, but I'm curious if there's some 
additional keyword that will ignore the SHR enqueues. I have not found anything.
