ERASE SET
Erases entries in manual master and detail data sets.
Syntax
ER[ASE] SET {DetailSetName }
{ManualMasterSetName}
Parameters
DetailSetName is the name of the detail data set which
contains entries to be erased.
For a standalone detail data set, all entries
are erased. If the detail data set is linked
to one or more automatic master data sets, all
detail data set entries are erased, and the
appropriate chain counts and chain pointers of
the related automatic master data set entries
are set to zero. If the deletion of a detail
data set entry results in an automatic master
data set entry not being linked to any detail
entries, the master data set entry is deleted.
If the detail data set is linked to one or more
manual master data sets, all detail data set
entries are erased, and the appropriate chain
counts and chain pointers of the related manual
master data set entries are set to zero.
Manual master data set entries are left in the
master data set whether or not the master data
set entries are linked to any detail data set
entries.
You cannot explicitly erase entries in an
automatic master data set. Automatic master
data set entries are erased via related detail
data set entries.
ManualMasterSetName is the name of the manual master data set which
contains entries to be deleted.
For a standalone manual master data set, all
entries are erased. For a manual master data
set with one or more paths to detail data sets,
and the detail entries in all paths are empty
(zero count), all entries in the manual master
data set are erased.
You cannot delete entries from a manual master
data set with one or more paths to detail data
sets which contain entries (path counts are not
zero).
