Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hi,

In a JOb step I need to delete the content of a dataset but I don't want to delete the dataset itself. How is it possible to do? Can IDCAMS or IEFBR14 do this? Please help.

At this time there were couple of JCLs but it can be a repetitive thing for me. So can we do it in a better way rather than just copy/paste?

I think, yes? A Moderator might help us to understand it better.

I might be hijacking this thread but why it's a a stupid design. I've seen many REXX doing this...

Pandora-Box is correct. You've to use the "..OF 01-group-level" to distinguish the similar variable names.

Hello,

Is there any way using which we can run the JEM (or JSCAN) on a PDS which is having couple of JCL's in it. I need to extract all the error messages into a PDS along with the job name. Any pointers in this regard are appreciated.

Thanks.
