Can we DELETE all the Generations of a GDG at once, WITHOUT
deleting the GDG itself ?

Answer Posted / 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
/*
//
