The following steps present an example of how to use the HBDELETE
line operator to delete backup versions of a data set. In our example,
we have used USER20.SAMPLE.DATASET as a sample data set name.
- Generate a list of data sets as explained in Methods of performing tasks.
- Enter the HBDELETE line operator in the line operator column next
to USER20.SAMPLE.DATASET as described in Figure 1.

The HBDELETE Entry panel appears.
- Complete the HBDELETE Entry panel as described in HBDELETE Entry Panel. Up to five panels can be displayed.
In each panel, the backup version, date, and time of the backup are
displayed as two lists with headers. If Y is
entered for the DELETE ALL VERSIONS field, only one HBDELETE Entry
panel is displayed.
Note: Retained backup versions are not displayed
on these panels. Entering Y for the DELETE
ALL VERSIONS field will delete all active and retained backup copies.
To delete an individual retained backup copy, use the DFSMShsm HLIST
DSNAME(dsname) BCDS command to obtain a complete list of the active
and retained backup copies of this data set. Then issue the HBDELETE
command with the DATE and TIME keywords.
