For LMMDEL you can specify MEMBER(*) and ISPF will delete all the members in the data set. Also for ISPF option 3.1 you can delete all members with the D (Delete member) option by entering * in the Member field. In both these cases ISPF uses STOW 'I'. I believe this support has been available in ISPF since z/OS 1.5.
I'm not 100% sure but I think STOW 'I' may also be used when you enter 'S * D' in the command field for an enhanced member list.
