Hi
I am new to Rexx & CLIST. I want to know how to write a piece of code which can help in the below
Problem:
Time and then I run JCL's which has 100 steps generating 100 PS files which needs to be validated manually. After the validation I again have to rerun the JCL. But I am forced to delete the data sets for the new run?(renaming is what i do normally.. but then again lot of unnecessary data sets are created).
Is there any simple CLIST or Rexx code which I can execute on command prompt to delete all the unnecessary data sets ?

Hello,
One way to do what you want is to set up some jcl and put it in a pds that will unconditionally delete all of the datasets prior to the beginning of a run. Run this as the first step of your 100 step job or as a small job that is submitted before the "real" job. |

you can try the following CA11RMS code to delete the datasets.
| Code: |
//TSOXXXX4 JOB (12345),'JCL',CLASS=E,
// MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=&SYSUID,
// MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//*
//R000 EXEC CA11RMS,TYPRUN='F'

And if the OP does not have CA7 / CA11 installed.
Please refrain from giving product dependent solutions unless the OP has categorically stated that the product is installed.

Well the Jcl did not work because the program was not found
R000 EXEC CA11RMS,TYPRUN='F' |

No, i wasn't thinking of ucc7/rms. I was thinking of some simple jcl of your own that would delete all of the files before the actual run started.
2 common ways to do this are:
A set of dd statements with (mod,delete) for each dataset.
or
Using idcams. |

Hi,
I am not sure about what is the individual usage of CA11RMS and TYPRUN=F, can someone clarify it? Thanks a lot!
Reagrds,

if your data set names match a specific pattern, such as USERID.XYZ.ABC.FILE1, USERID.XYZ.ABC.FILE2, etc, then a single DELETE command from TSO or IDCAMS will do it: TSO DEL 'USERID.XYZ.ABC.*'
That is the easiest way but you have to follow naming conventions and be sure no other data sets you want to keep meet that pattern. See the DELETE command. (no rexx required) |
