Hi,

I create Dynamic PARM to delete members from a PDS. My PARM looks like this.

DELETE HLQ.MLQ(MEM1)
DELETE HLQ.MLQ(MEM2)

The problem is when this DELETE step gets executed, if some programmer is using the library HLQ.MLQ, my members MEM1 and MEM2 are not getting deleted. Do we have any command which does this? Pls help

Thanks,

Use DISP=OLD on the PDS is one way

arvibala,

Use the parm FILE on DELETE. This will delete the member even if someone is editing it

ex:

Code:

//DELPMEM  EXEC PGM=IDCAMS                     
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//PDS      DD DISP=SHR,DSN=YOUR PDS
//SYSIN    DD *
  DELETE 'YOUR.PDS(membername)' FILE(PDS)
