Hai,

I want to delete the entire GDG base and all it's generations in one shot and i am using this statement in my JCL but i am getting RC code 8


//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DELETE UNIT.SAMPLE.G
DELETE UNIT.TEST.G
/*
//


DELETE UNIT.SAMPLE.G
IDC3014I CATALOG ERROR
IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 48 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLFO-28
IDC0551I ** ENTRY UNIT.SAMPLE.G NOT DELETED
IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 8

DELETE UNIT.TEST.G
IDC3014I CATALOG ERROR
IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 48 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLFO-28
IDC0551I ** ENTRY UNIT.TEST.G NOT DELETED
IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 8

IDC0002I IDCAMS PROCESSING COMPLETE. MAXIMUM CONDITION CODE WAS 8

Shekar123,

This should help you.
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/DGT2I230/20.2.11?DT=20040628101835

You just need to specify what is type of dataset that you are trying to delete. GENERATIONDATAGROUP (GDG).

Hope this helps,

Thanks,
Phantom

try this

DELETE UNIT.SAMPLE.G GDG PURGE

DELETE UNIT.TEST.G GDG PURGE



"delete" "file name" "type of file(gdg/vsam)" " delete regardless of retention (purge)"
