 Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2005 7:44 am Post subject: Delete Multiple datasets |
 |
|
Hi
Can anybody help me in deleting multiple datasets through REXX. My requirement is as follows.
I will be having datasets like
APPCOM.MFA.FILE1
APPCOM.MFA.FILE2
APPCOM.MFA.FILE3
APPCOM.MFA.FILE4 etc...
My input to the REXX tool will be APPCOM.MFA.*
Then it should delete all the above datasets. Is it possible by REXX. If so, please help me.
Thanks in advance

Sridhar,
You can use ADRDSSU utility to delete the datasets. Here is a sample JCL.
| Code: |
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//PSEUDO DD DUMMY
//SYSIN DD *
DUMP /* COMMAND DUMP */ -
DS(INCL(APPCOM.MFA.**)) /* INCLUDE ALL DSN WITH HLQ */ -
OUTDD(PSEUDO) /* OUT DD NAME */ -
DELETE /* DELETE ALL THE DATASETS */
/*
|
Hope this helps...
Cheers
kolusu

Hi Kolusu
Thanks for the reply. But I am getting the following dump with return code 8. It it not possible through REXX commands. Just with curiosity, I am asking.
| Code: | PAGE 0001 5695-DF175 DFSMSDSS V1R06.0 DATA SET SERVICES 2005.102 15:10
DUMP /* COMMAND DUMP */ -
DS(INCL('UPLSTCS.BPS.**') /* INCLUDE ALL DSN WITH HLQ */ -
OUTDD(PSEUDO) /* OUT DD NAME */ -
DELETE /* DELETE ALL THE DATASETS */
ADR101I (R/I)-RI01 (01), TASKID 001 HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO COMMAND 'DUMP '
ADR109I (R/I)-RI01 (01), 2005.102 15:10:29 INITIAL SCAN OF USER CONTROL STATEMENTS COMPLETED.
ADR129E (001)-RI01 (01), KEYWORD 'OUTDD ' IS IMPROPER
ADR131E (001)-RI03 (01), ABOVE TEXT BYPASSED UNTIL NEXT COMMAND
ADR017E (001)-CLTSK(01), 2005.102 15:10:29 TASK NOT SCHEDULED DUE TO ERROR. TASK RETURN CODE 0008

Since this was posted to the TSO and ISPF forum, I worked out this solution using ISPF Library Management services:
| Code: |
/* REXX */
"ISPEXEC LMDINIT LISTID(listid) LEVEL(APPCOM.MFA.*)"
Do Forever
"ISPEXEC LMDLIST LISTID(&listid) OPTION(LIST) DATASET(dsn)"
If rc <> 0 Then Leave
Else
Do
Say "Erasing:'"dsn"'"
"ISPEXEC LMERASE DATASET('"dsn"')"
End
End
"ISPEXEC LMDFREE LISTID(&listid)"

Hi Kolusu,
Thats really great. The REXX code worked fine in my shop. Thank you very much.
I searched for the error code "ADR129E" that my JCL returned but could not able to solve it. Any clue please.........

psridhar,
You are missing a closing parenthsis on the DS control card.
you have
| Code: |
DS(INCL('UPLSTCS.BPS.**')
|
it should be
| Quote: |
DS(INCL('UPLSTCS.BPS.**'))
|
Note the ) in bold at the end
Correct that and re-run your job. It should run fine.
Hope this helps...
Cheers
kolusu

|
|
| Code: |
/* Rexx */
Say "This exec deletes the datasets, as required by the user"
Say "Enter the level of the datasets which are to be deleted"
Parse Pull level
X = Outtrap("stem1.")
Address Tso "Listc lvl("level")"
J=0
Do I=1 To Stem1.0
J=J+1
Parse Var Stem1.I First Rest
If First="IN-CAT" Then Do
J=J-1
Iterate
End
Parse Var Rest Rest1 Rest2.J ''
/* Address Tso "Delete" "'"||Rest2||"'" "Scratch" */
End
Say "Following datasets will be deleted. Press 'y' to confirm and",
"any other key to continue"
Do I=1 To J
Say Rest2.I
End
Parse Pull Option
K=0
If option='y' Then
Do I=0 To J
Address Tso "Delete" "'"||Rest2.I||"'" "Scratch"
K=K+1
End
If K=3 Then
Say 'The datasets are deleted'
If K<3 & K>0 Then
Say 'All the datasets in the above list are not deleted'
If K=0 Then
Say 'The datsets are not deleted'
Exit

| Run hdelete first? Or if these are all dasd data sets run listdsi with norecall and call the appropriate delete routine. (not tested - just posting a thought, really) |
