 Posted: Mon May 18, 2009 10:16 am Post subject: Batch Jcl to Empty PDS |
 |
|
Hi,
I did search on this topic before Posting this, but cudnt get any info.
We have a process that will create Temp members in 16 PDS. But at the end of the process we need to cleanup the 16 PDS.
I was wondering if we have some simple Jcl that empties any specified PDS.
I was told the best option is to Delete / Create the PDS.
Thanks

Alternatively, if this is all one job or rexx, use temporary data sets. If the only reason that these data sets exist is to hold this temporary data, then there is no need to have them take up space on disk and backups.

Thanks All. Never thought this will be so complex. Expected a simple utility to solve this  .
