Hi,
I have N number of datasets. They are of pattern ABC.DEF.GHI.*. How can I delete those datasets using Rexx? Please help.
Thanks! |

usually when for some task the tool is chosen it means that the due diligence has been done...
comparison of different tools
availability of the tool
availability of the skills related to the tool
shooting in the dark 'I wanna do it with REXX' without the proper rexx skills
is the most <any derogatory adjective of Your choice> approach that could be chosen 
whether You like it or not |

Assuming a relative new version of z/OS a simple would do it.
/* REXX */
"DEL ABC.DEF.GHI.* MASK " |
