Answer / kalone
Yes , we can do that by using following step :
//step1 dd pgm=iefbr14
//gdggen dd dsn=base-gdg-file,DISP=(MOD,DELETE,DELETE)
The above code will delete all the generations except the
base GDG.TO delete base GDG you need to use IDCAMS.

Answer / kranthi kumar m
yes,we can,by pressing d infront of command prompt before
all generations but we can't delete gdg base directly, if we
want delete base use syntax like dis,
//sysin dd *
delete (base-name) purge
/*
//

During such scenario..always create dummy GDG version at
the end of job.. SO whenever your job runs, atleast one
dummy file will be present and also you can avoid abend..

Thanks Kranthi,
And Using Purge or Force will delete the GDG Base as well as
all the generations of the GDG. While Using Delete without
any option DELETS only the INDEX of the GDG.
Could you please help in sorting out whether there is a way
to DELETE ONLY ALL THE GENERATIONS OF THE GDG WITHOUT
DELETING THE BASE, "USING JCL".

Answer / sam
I am facing problems while deleting all GDG versions except
base using IEFBR14. My job fails when I try to execute
IEFBR14 with my GDG base having no versions, causing
problems in my job flow.
I want to delete all gdg versions if they exist otherwsie
my job should execute fine.
Can anyone suggest solution for this?
