RESET Statement

The RESET statement deletes the contents of a VSAM file that CA‑L‑Serv is managing.

RESET OUTFILE(ddname)

Parameters

ddname: Identifies the file. This DD name must match the DD name on the ADDFILE command.

Note:

You can specify this statement only as input to the LDMAMS utility.

A file can be reset only if it was defined with the REUSE option of the DEFINE CLUSTER control statement using the IDCAMS utility.

Example

To delete the contents of file FILE1, specify this statement as input to the LDMAMS job:

RESET OUTFILE(FILE1)
