Is my head back in the 70's?

It used to be that "DELETE HLQ.*" would only delete the single level after HLQ. If the DSN was HLQ.ONE.TWO it would NOT be deleted. I couldn't see anything in "H DELETE" under TSO to explain how it handles generics.

Yes.  As others stated, look at the HELP DELETE under TSO.

I always back up what I am going to delete just in-case there is something in there I want to keep.

You can also use DFDSS to DUMP DELETE as well.

Subject: Catalog Entry Deletion using a String

Hello All,

Is it possible to delete a catalog entry using a first HLQ alone ?

Like deleting all entry of ZOS21.** instead of specifying each and every
qualified dataset  ?
