Ramesh,

Use the "Code" option provided here instead of attaching screenshots.

Ramesh,

Please post the error that you are getting.

I suppose there won't be any error because DISP option MOD would create the dataset if it is not existing and in this case it would be deleted even the job abends or does not abend for some reason.

Cheers
Agni

You are using two steps with the same name step1 change it and check . Otherwise mod,del,del shouldn't throw any error even if there is no dataset to delete

As the error message says, provide the SPACE parameter in the first step.

Thanks,
Arun

Hi,

if the file does not exist, just code the space and unit parameter.
SPACE=(TRK,(0))

I must admit that I prefer IDCAMS for pre process deletes because it will delete a migrated file without recall.

Chek it out !! hope it gives some insight !

IGD17045I SPACE NOT SPECIFIED FOR ALLOCATION OF DATA SET dsname

Explanation: No space was specified on the JCL or in the data class for
the allocation of the data set.

In the message text:

dsname The data set name.

System Action: The allocation fails.

Application Programmer Response: Correct the space specification in
either the JCL DEFINE statement or in the data class. Then resubmit the
allocation request.

There is nothing intresting.

It is exactly as gcicchet already mentioned some post's before.

If you have a clear look at the JCL of srramesh and Gousiya Mulla,
you could see the difference.

Add space-parameter in the delete-step, and that's it.

Hello srramesh,

As you've been asked before - do not use images/screen captures to show your info. Used the "Code" tag on the Reply panel.

If other posts arrive with images, they will be deleted.

Hi Gousiya,

your post will not work even though you say it worked.

//STEPDEL1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//FILE1 DD DSN=TFPZ.TEST5.FILE
//STEPDEL1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//OUTFILE DD DSN=TFPZ.TEST5.FILE,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(5,3),RLSE),
// DCB=(DSORG=PS,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=800)
//*

In step STEPDEL1 you have not coded any disposition, the only reason it worked is because the file did not exist, no disp defaults to
DISP=(NEW,DELETE), had the file existed it would have resulted in a JCL error, duplicate name.
