Pgorthi,

You might want to try this JCL (which uses IEBGENER utility)

//*
//Step01 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSUT1 DD DUMMY,DCB=DCB Parameters of "FILE"
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=FILE,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//*

Regards,
Karthik

pgorthi,
The DEL NX ALL command does not work for you because, you are in BROWSE mode and not in EDIT mode. This is because, the file is too large to be opened in EDIT mode.

Method suggested by Karthik above, should work fine.

Pgorthi,

If your input file is huge then , you will be substituted with browse mode. This is due to Maximum initial storage allowed for Edit and View.

Check this topic for ways of changing that initial sotrage value.

You can use Karthik's suggested method to delete the contents of the file. But just change the disp=shr to disp=old for sysut2.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu,

disp=shr works fine for me..any specific reason why this needs to be changed.

Cheers
