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

Answer Posted / dedicated_programmer

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".
