For the curious, IDCAMS does indeed use STOW (with I) to delete all the
members of a PDS or PDSE. This is not only fast, but it eliminates any
need to compress a PDS afterward. (Had you come to SHARE, you might have
known that--hint, hint. ;-)
Also, this function has been available since z/OS V1.12, so everybody
running on a supported release can use it.
