Hai All,

I have four datasets which are like below:
Code:

YADAV.TEST.A.B.C.A0001
YADAV.TEST.A.B.C.A0002
YADAV.TEST.A.B.C.A0003
YADAV.TEST.A.B.C.A0004

I am trying to delete by the code below and I am failing:
Code:

//STEP010  EXEC PGM=IDCAMS                                             
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SYSIN    DD *                                                         
  DELETE YADAV.TEST.A.*.*.*         SCRATCH PURGE                       
  IF MAXCC < = 8 THEN SET MAXCC = 0                                     
/*

IDC0002I IDCAMS PROCESSING COMPLETE. MAXIMUM CONDITION CODE WAS 12             

I also tried to delete by the code below and I am failing:
Code:

//STEP010  EXEC PGM=IDCAMS

yadav2005,

You canNOT use wild multi qualifier wild cards for IDCAMS DELETE command. Search for "ADRDSSU DELETE" and you will find topics like these

If you are trying to free up a volume, then you will need to liaise with your storage management team to "DISNEW" that volume in the storage pool, which will stop new dataset allocations using that volume.

They can also use HSM commands to copy / migrate data away from that volume to other volumes in the same STORGRP.
