Deleting Datasets (TSIDDEL)
Description TSIDDEL deletes disk work datasets that are not closed by the same
program that opens them. At any point in the job or job step, TSIDDEL
can be used to free up disk space for other processing. These datasets can
be either Start Track 1 or cataloged work datasets. Deletion of generation
disk datasets is not supported.
TSIDDEL is available as a batch program and as a callable subroutine.
When using a DLBL, specify the DLBL option code D. When using a
BIM-EPIC DD statement, specify DISP=(NEW,DELETE).
If you are already using TSIDSRT as the interface to your sort program,
TSIDDEL execution is not necessary.
