Deleting datasets

Hello List!

My Java batch programs sometimes need to delete the datasets after having processed them. IBM's JRIO package provides a method to delete a dataset.

Is it possible to delete a dataset using JZOS API?

Thanks in advance.

Sure - use ZFile.deleteDatatset(String datasetName).

This feature was added in the 1.2.2 release of jzos, so if you don't see it in your release, you should upgrade. You can get the latest release from IBM's AlphaWorks:

Ah Ok. I have version 1.2.1. I'll try to upgrade.

Thanks, again.
