Delete data set members

With ZOAU, you can delete the member ${prefix}.PROJ23.COBOL(MORTGAGE) in the following ways:

• Issuing a shell command:

  • Option 1:

  mrm "${prefix}.PROJ23.COBOL(MORTGAGE)"
  

  • Option 2:

  mvscmdauth --pgm=IDCAMS --sysprint=dummy --sysin=stdin <<zz
    DELETE ${prefix}.PROJ23.COBOL(MORTGAGE)
  zz
  

• Calling an API in Python programs:

  datasets.delete_members("%s.PROJ23.COBOL(MORTGAGE)" % HLQ)
  

Without ZOAU, to achieve the same purpose, you need to write the following JCL statements:

//*
//* Remove (delete) the PDS member MORTGAGE from
//* the dataset @@HLQ@@.ZOASAMP.PROJ23.COBOL
//* Returns 0 if successful, non-zero otherwise
//*
//MRM     EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
  DELETE @@HLQ@@.ZOASAMP.PROJ23.COBOL(MORTGAGE)
