I would recommend FIXPDS RESET, from the PDS package, file 182 on your
cbttape dial, www.cbttape.org. It zeroes out the directory and makes it
look like an empty PDS.
So does IDCAMS DELETE these days

Syntax?
delete pds.name(*)
That would appear to DELETE the entire library. But DELETE
followed by reallocate

Ouch! Are there errors you choose to have unreported?
DSNAME = 'dataset name'
DSN = STRIP(DSNAME,
DEL (*) gives invalid dataset name
However:
DEL /(*) gives me an empty PDS and IDC0553I ALL MEMBERS IN DATA SET
RRP4912.TEMP.JCL DELETED
In addition, it works on an empty PDS to free space (as I expected it to).

Is there a non-assembler interface for this? Seems a good candidate
for ISPF DSLIST.
OK. TSO line command; nothing in ISPF DSLIST?

It is. I was mostly commenting on your brevity.

OK, poor choice of words, it doesn't free the space, it compresses it.
Either way, I didn't know IDCAMS had been enhanced like this, so Thanks Steve!
