Hello,
I'm running a job, which will result in 100,000+ sequential datasets being created. They will all have a similar naming convention, i.e.
STEVE.A1
STEVE.A2
..
STEVE.A100000
*
Without having to write IDCAMS statements with 100,000 Deletes, is there a way or some utility I can use in a JCL to delete the datasets?

I'm looking for something that will find all datasets called STEVE.A* for example and delete them.
I can change the naming convention.

Thanks.

Thanks for the answer - works beautifully, and for the tip, I'll be sure to try & use better key words the next time I search.
