You can do it interactively from TSO (my preference), or using IBM 
utilities and JCL (which I don't know what the magic incantaion is ... I 
think you can use either IDCAMS with DELETE statements or just

IEBFR14 (the dummy program), with MOD,DELETE or some such in the DISP 
parameter.

NO NO NO NO NO

IEFBR14 will delete the entire dataset, not just the member!! A very 
common "newbie" mistake!

Look at my previous post for the magic incantation for the proper batch 
utility.

IDCAMS in MVS 3.8J did NOT have member delete functions. It can, 
howwever, be very dangerous as it might delete the entire dataset.
