you can delete the GDG using fileaid option.
And a first generation GDG can be created in JCL or in TSO using 3.2 option.
Use the name as A7105AB.GDG.NEWGEN(+1) |

You can delete the GDG base using the Access Method Services DELETE command, as described here.
To create the first generation, you can use either absolute or relative generations. See Chapter 29. Processing Generation Data Groups in the z/OS V1R6.0 DFSMS: Using Data Sets manual. |

Goto 3.4 and type DELETE against the dataset name instead of typing "D". This will delete the GDG Base. |

Hi Sahoo,
Writing 'D' against the GDG base will not delete it as GDG base entry is not treated as ordinary entry.
Try 'DE' and it should work. 'DE" is short for "DELETE'. This is for extra safety so you delete accidently and loose all the generations. 'DE' you will write only intentionally.
Cheers,
Puneet |

hi,
U have another option to delete the GDGBASE using IDCAMS utility.
Pass the parameter
'DELETE YOUR.GDG.BASE PURGE' thru SYSIN
