Hi,
I want to keep first step in my Job which deletes all the datasets used in that Job. But if some of the datasets are already deleted I dont want the Job to abend.
Please advise me how can I do this. Condition code check and resetting it back to 0 from first step is one option. But is there some other way to do it.
Thanks,
Smita |

What would you like to use? IEFBR14 (or any other program) with Disp=(Mod,Delete,Delete) is available if you want to use it. |

You don't actually have to do a condition code check with IDCAMS, just code the last line as

This is how I've been using.
| Code: |
//STEP010 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DELETE GNANAS.PS.DEL PURGE
IF MAXCC GE 9 THEN SET MAXCC = 16
ELSE SET MAXCC = 0

Once the condition code has been set for some step, it cannot be reset. . .

I suspect you mean jcl error rather than abend. Using disp=(mod,delete) will prevent the jcl error and will guarantee the existing files are also deleted.
As asked before - why not IDCAMS? |
