Re: Documentation for TSO DELETE MASK operand?
<*Doh!*>
I removed the parentheses around the DSN with masking and it worked with the
quoted and masked DSN.
Thanks for pointing to the documentation, I did find it there.

It is defined in the IDCMS manual (DFSMS Access Method Services Commands).
I would say no quotes on a masked data set.

Check the IDCAMS manuals. This is actually a DFSMS command, not a native TSO
command.

Subject: Documentation for TSO DELETE MASK operand?
z/OS 2.1 here. In trying the following example DELETE with a MASK operand from
a TSO READY prompt, I get the same error no matter whether I use asterisk or
double-asterisk as the MASK value.
I have not found any documentation of the MASK keyword in the online TSO/E
Commands Reference for either z/OS V2.1 or z/OS V2.2, but TSO HELP DELETE
yields the description that follows the example below, indicating that MASK is
a valid keyword.
Where can I RTFM about the MASK operand please?
Peter
Example DELETE with MASK operand and TSO HELP DELETE:
READY
DELETE('TSOUSER.TEST.DATA.*') PURGE MASK
IDC3239I INVALID DELETE MASK KEY - '('TSOUSER.TEST.DATA.*') IDC0014I LASTCC=12
READY
TSO HELP DELETE
Function -
The DELETE command is used to delete either VSAM objects or NONVSAM
data sets from a VSAM or ICF catalog and to free space occupied by
the objects or data sets. Also the free space of VSAM data components
can be overwritten with zeros. The DELETE command also deletes
GDG bases and VSAM USERCATALOGS.
Syntax -
DELETE('entryname/password' ...)
CATALOG('catname/password')
FILE('dname')
PURGE | NOPURGE
ERASE | NOERASE
SCRATCH | NOSCRATCH
FORCE | NOFORCE
RECOVERY | NORECOVERY
MASK | NOMASK
CLUSTER | SPACE | USERCATALOG |
ALIAS | GENERATIONDATAGROUP | PAGESPACE |
NONVSAM | PATH | ALTERNATEINDEX | TRUENAME |
NVR | VVR | VOLUMEENTRY | LIBRARYENTRY . . .
MASK - The entryname is a MASK filter used to select a range
of catalog entries to be deleted.
NOMASK - the entryname is the name of a catalog entry to be
deleted.
