Hello,
When something doesn't work, it is a good idea to post the error information. The error you received from the utility will tell you what the problem is. |

Hello,
Do we now have 2 of the same situation? There are 2 sets of syntax posted, but so far no one has posted their error information.
For us to help, we need to see what the system provided when it did not run as desired. . . |

Methinks the base has entries and the OP has asked if we can do this without the FORCE/PURGE keywords.
Well the answer is a big resounding NO you can't delete the GDG base whilst it has entries unless you use the FORCE parameter. Not to mention the PURGE parameter should the entries have explicit expiry dates specified.
Well, if the OP can't be a***d to answer questions that will help us resolve his problem I'm certainly not going to bother asking again, or again, or again. |

A lot of shops don't allow use of FORCE parameter. So, the better option is to call IEFBR14 with dataset disposition of OLD,DELETE to delete GDG datasets, assuming they are not required any more and then issuing a IDCAMS DELETE command for the base. |
