Hi All,

Is there a way out to delete multiple PDS or PS using a single command. Something similar to this :
I want to delete following PDSs' (along with the members in it)

MYPDS.TEST.COB
MYPDS.TEST.JCL
MYPDS.TEST.TST
MYPDS.TEST.LOAD
MYPDS.TEST.OBJ

using MYPDS.TEST.* with a single command, instead of deleting each one of them individually.

Thanks and Regards,
Raveendra.

You can probably write a small REXX, but there is no command to delete a bunch of datasets together.

Thanks,
Phantom

Hi Phantom,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I am new to REXX and probably its going to take me sometime for writing a REXX prog.

Thanks once again,
Raveendra.
