Is it possible to delete only one Member ?

For example

fuuss.job.cntl (test)

I tried different things but the JCL always cleared me the whole cntl

Thanks in advance

A specific DELETE of a member should not be deleting the entire PDS:

TSO DELETE 'PDS(MEMBER)' or IDCAMS:

In you used something such as IEFBR14 then you can not specify a member with DISP=(OLD,DELETE). The entire file will delete.

Mr. Spock shows a solution. Other utilities can also be used, such as IEHPROGM. These use control statements which can be a problem if you want to use JCL symbolics, for example.

Yeah it worked , I think i was blinded but I really user IEFBR14

Thank you very much
