Hi,
I have to delete around 1000 datasets having the similar names. Each dataset name is starting with A.B (A.B.*). How can I delete all datasets with name starts as A.B.*? |

A small change in the question.. My datasets looks like A.B*.*.*
Not like A.B.*.That is datasets like
A.BJan01.ABC.DEF
A.BJan02.ABC.XYZ
A.BJan01.ZZZ.AAA
etc.. That is only the first qualifier and partial part of second qualifier is same. As mentioned inthe above links, I tried with IDCAMS and ADRDSSU. But none of these gave the expected result. If datasets are like A.B.* (Only having 1 qualifier is missing), then IDCAMS is working.
Please help me for getting the desired results.. |

Hello,
One way would be to generate the list of dataset names you want to delete and then create either DD statements or IDCAMS control statements using that list of dsn's as input. |

I hope IDCAMS will work for this. Using 3.4 get all list of datasets having A.B*.*.*, after it save this list. Once you get list, then you can easily DELETE these datasets using IDCAMS.
Ex-
//DELETE EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DELETE A.BXY.ADC.BWZ
Correct me anyone if I am wrong. |

Hi,
I used the following code and it worked for me.
| Code: |
//BACKUP EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//FILTLST DD *
INCLUDE( -
CSDTG1.Y*.*.* -
CSDTG1.H*.*.* -
// DD *
)
//FILEBACK DD DUMMY
//SYSIN DD *
DUMP OUTDD(FILEBACK) -
TOL(ENQF) -
DATASET(FILTERDD(FILTLST)) -
DELETE -
PURGE
//*
//**********************************************************************
