Deleting data set information

z/OS DFSMSrmm Managing and Using Removable Media
SC23-6873-00

Related TSO Subcommand: Use the DELETEDATASET subcommand to delete data set information defined to DFSMSrmm. See DELETEDATASET: Deleting data set information for more information.

To delete information about a data set defined to DFSMSrmm:

  1. Select Option 4 (DELETE) on the Data Set Menu. DFSMSrmm displays the Delete Data Set panel.

    Enter a data set name and a volume serial number.

    Specify the data set sequence number if the data set is not the first data set on the volume. DFSMSrmm automatically deletes any information about data sets following the one you specified, but does not delete information about data sets preceding the one you specified. If you do not specify a data set sequence number, DFSMSrmm uses a default value of 1, so that information about all data sets on the volume is deleted.

    Restriction: To delete a data set on a volume if DFSMSrmm recorded data set information during O/C/EOV processing, you must have CONTROL access to STGADMIN.EDG.MASTER security resource and UPDATE access to STGADMIN.EDG.FORCE security profile.

    Press PF1 for field-specific help.

  2. Press ENTER.

When you request the confirm delete option for a session, DFSMSrmm displays the Confirm Delete Data Set panel. This panel displays information on the data set you specified and asks you to confirm that you want to delete information about it.

Press ENTER to delete information about the data set you specified and all subsequent data sets on the volume. If you specified the DFSMSrmm parmlib member OPTION UNCATALOG(Y) operand, DFSMSrmm also uncatalogs the data set and all subsequent data sets on the volume for which DFSMSrmm has recorded information.
