No, I can't. The job I used many, many moons ago does not work as I remembered.
What I recall doing was to pry the covers off of the IMS utility DFSUOCU0, which did exactly what was desired. That is, completely replaced a target PDS with a source PDS. Worked great, and I used it extensively to promote high visibility load libraries. I lost use of the utility when I moved to an assignment that lacked IMS, so I thought I replicated the process. But I am mistaken. I apologize. This is the first time in my life I have been wrong about anything, and not quite sure what to do. I also never lie ;-) Here is the job: /******************************************************************* //S1 EXEC PGM=IEBUPDTE,PARM=NEW //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSUT2 DD DSN=SYSX.MY.CNTL,DISP=OLD //SYSIN DD DSN=DISTRO.TAPE,DISP=OLD // -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Zelden Sent: Friday, February 24, 2006 11:48 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: IBM Supported method to empty PDS in Batch Hal, Can you provide a working sample of using IEBUPDTE to empty a PDS?
