Hi,
My requirement is I want to list PS and PDS seperatly form VTOC.
And then delete all PS having starting qualifier XXXXXX.
It would be good if we can do this using JCL only. |

Sorry, it is not possible to do this using JCL only. JCL does one thing and only one thing -- it executes programs. If you had indicated you wanted to use DCOLLECT in a job to extract the data, then continue with another program to analyze the data and set up the delete statements, then IDCAMS to execute the delete statements -- that would be possible. But using JCL only nothing can be accomplished since JCL does nothing but execute programs. |

Hi All,
The ideas is good one, I tried for the same, it's working.
But, since we are using DUMP here so first it copy all the mentioned qualifier files and after that it deletes the copied files, which is not cost efficient.
Is there any way, so that we can directly delete all the mentioned qualifier files without copying?
please share your comments |

Please refrain from posting wrong conclusions/considerations
The job as posted is by any point of view the most cost efficient solution
I' ll leave to You the pleasure of finding out why! |

| Are you actually looking for a single volume's contents (VTOC) or all cataloged datasets for a particular HLQ? |

Hello,
What happened when you ran the sample job Enrico provided (// EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU,PARM='TYPRUN=NORUN' )?
If you have not run this - do so now and post anything that is not clear from the run. . . |

Correct. . . Did you try to read the "instructions" given by Enrico?
Go back - re-read (actually, read for the first time as you have not yet done so) and then do as suggested. . . |

Look at the last of the links provided by Enrico.
Start at section 2 - Chapter 22
Read, re-read, re-read again because evrything that you need to know is in there, because I know the book that his link references. It will take you a couple of hours, maybe more, maybe less, but all of your questions will be answered for this topic and also the one in the SMS forum. |

Hello,
I still wonder that you did not use the simple directions given. . . 
As Expat suggests, you will get complete info from the documentation, but Enrico hs posted everything you need to do what you want.
As you are not understanding this well at all, i strongly suggest you create a test hlq for testing this and not simply destroy real data. |

So, you were ready to delete a bunch of files without checking first exactly which files ?
I hope the backup guy is a good friend of yours.  |

Very afraid. . . 
Hard to imagine the amount of damage that a runaway, untested, misunderstood, automated "surgery" process might cause.
Unfortunately, many places that allow a beginner to do this also have poor security in place. . .

Dick,
aren't they hidden in the dummy file?
I'm checking my insurance policies and credit cards more closely.  |
