1. ISPF 3.4 using the volser rather than the dsn name
prefix.
2. SAVE xxx
3. edit 'yourid.xxx.datasets'
4. create delete commands in the syntax of your
favorite utility.

Subject: Basic question on deleting datasets
Hi.
I'm afraid I'm in a "can't see the forest because of
the trees"
situation which probably has a very easy answer that I
can't see.
I have a disk pack that I need to get a large subset of
the datasets off it as well as uncataloged. Is there
some way using IDCAMS or DFSMSdss to accomplish this
using wildcards so I don't have to list each dataset
separately? IDCAMS apparently only allows me to use a
single-qualifier wildcard which won't do it.
Unless somebody has a better idea as how to proceed
here. The situation is that we have a training system
here that is a clone of our production. On a
semi-regular basis we are requested to refresh the
training system. The process is to delete the training
system datasets then use DFSMSdss COPY to copy the
datasets from production to training.
I have tried just using DFSMSdss COPY with REPlace but
apparently the REPlace parameter of DSS COPY doesn't
work with the RENameUnconditional because DSS complains
about the output datasets already being there.
I don't want to have to list all the datasets
individually in IDCAMS DELETE statements because that
will be a maintenance nightmare.
Environment is z/OS 1.4.
What am I missing?
Rex
