Vinodch,

You CANNOT delete a key using IDCAMS. However if your cluster is defined with RESET , then here is a possible solution

Vinodch,

Here is an example straight from the Easytrieve reference guide (chapter 11)

Code:

  FILE KSDS VS (UPDATE)

  FILE DELFILE
       DEL-KEY   1  05 N
 
  JOB INPUT DELFILE
 
      READ KSDS KEY DEL-KEY STATUS
           IF FILE-STATUS NE 0
              DISPLAY 'READ FAILED...KEY= ' DEL-KEY
              STOP
           END-IF
           WRITE KSDS DELETE STATUS
           IF FILE-STATUS NE 0
              DISPLAY 'DELETE FAILED'
              STOP
           END-IF
     END


Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu
