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.

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

Ramesh,

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.
