Chapter 8. BIM-EPIC Utilities 8-7
Deleting Datasets (TSIDDEL)
Some programs that use PIOCS do not close their work datasets. TSIDDEL can be used to
delete disk work datasets that are not closed by the program that opens them. At any point in
the job or job step, TSIDDEL can be used to free up their disk space for other processing.
These datasets must be controlled, and they can be either Start Track 1 or cataloged datasets.
TSIDDEL is available as a batch program and as a callable subroutine. When using a DLBL,
specify the DLBL 'D' option. 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.
TSIDDEL does not delete generation disk datasets.
// EXEC TSIDDEL
[ control statements ]
/*
None
The datasets must have been created in the step immediately prior to the TSIDDEL step, with
no labels between the EXEC statement for the program and the EXEC statement for
TSIDDEL.
Control statements specify which datasets to delete. Each control statement specifies one
dataset to delete, but you can submit as many control statements as you wish for each
execution of TSIDDEL. Control statements must begin in column 1.
