DELETE ALL GDG VERSIONS WITHOUT DELETING BASE
Below JCL would delete all the versions of the GDG without deleting the BASE.

Problem is when you do not have any GDG versions, this would throw a JCL error .. any other alternatives?
Hi Vinayak,
The below JCL step (IDCAMS) would delete both GDG BASE and all of its Versions.
//PGM EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DELETE (YOUR.INPUT.GDG) GDG FORCE
very very useful boss. Thanks
suppose we have 10 job steps. I want to execute from the 5th step only without using condition parameter.How to do that? the first 4 steps should not get executed.
Hello Roy, Please take a look at below link

If you dont want to use COND parameter, we can use IF condition by checking RC and execute only 5th step.
In case, you need more details, please mail me @ raje.ar@gmail.com.. Thanks
