abhayasahoo,
Try this,
| Code: |
//DELPMEM EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//PDS DD DSN=YOUR PDS,
// DISP=SHR
//SYSIN
DELETE 'YOUR.PDS(membername)' FILE(PDS)
/*
|
Hope this helps...
cheers

You could also try IEHPROGM
| Code: |
//DELETE EXEC PGM=IEHPROGM
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SCRATCH DSNAME=MQ77ABW.AMIGA.PROCESS,MEMBER=TALT01,VOL=3390=HAX933
/*
//*
|
hope this helps |

Hi,
I used the below JCL to delete a member in a PDS but it failed.....
I tried the DSN with both quotes and without quotes but got the same result.
| Code: |
//XXXXXXPD JOB (XXXXXX,XXXX),
// 'DELETE PDS MEMBERS',
// CLASS=X,
// MSGCLASS=Y,
// NOTIFY=XXXXXX
//*
//SCRATCH EXEC PGM=IEHLIST
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SCRATCH DSNAME='XXXXX.XXXXXX.XXXXX',MEMBER=XXXXXXX,VOL==3390=XXXXX7
/*
//
|
Sysprint shown the below:
| Code: |
INVALID CONTROL CARD---SCRATCH DSNAME='XXXXX.XXXXXX.XXXXX',MEMBER=XXXXXXX,VOL==3390=XXXXX7
|
Any help??
Also, would you please let me know how to delete all the members of a PDS using any JCL utility? I searched the forum for string "delete all members of a PDS" but couldn't find a relavant post.
Thanks in advance for your time.

mfuser,
If your intention is to delete a member why not use the IDCAMS step mentioned in my post? Did you try that?

There is no utility to delete all the members of the JCL. The simplest way to delete all the members of the PDS is
1. Open the PDS in EDIT mode
2. type the following at the command prompt
3. Set the delete confirmation off and press enter
4. All the members are deleted.
Hope this helps...
Cheers

See your PGM name? IEHLIST is incorrect, use IEHPROGM.
To delete all members, you can delete and reallocate the PDS much easier. We copied a pgm (from CBT collection??) called RESETDS to delete all members and remove "gas".
See www.CBTtape.org for many MVS shareware programs.

Thanks Kolusu. I was aware of the S * D command but was looking to do it JCL way.
Thanks a lot Bill Dennis. So, I was using wrong utility..... 
I will try my hand at CBTtape.org to find out if it is available.

abhishek_snn,
delete members from pds listed in an file:
Write some lines code to read the file, add the delete command, write the results to a file and call idcams using the modified file as input.
May be you can use a IBM utility to add some charcters to each record of your memberlist.

abhishek_snn,
generate the delete cards for all the pds members as follows
| Code: |
DELETE 'YOUR.PDS(membername1)' FILE(PDS)
DELETE 'YOUR.PDS(membername2)' FILE(PDS)
..
|
and pass this as sysin to IDCAMS step.
