Most vendor software has some sort of manual giving the API specifications for interacting with the software from a program. If you posted on this forum without looking at that manual, that was your FIRST mistake -- ALWAYS look at the vendor's documentation before posting any question about vendor software. And if you looked without finding anything, then that's a pretty good clue to you that what you want to do cannot be done. And the SECOND place to check, again BEFORE posting to a forum, is with the vendor support group -- they know the software a whole lot better than anyone on a forum.
And saying "via a JCL" indicates you do NOT belong on this forum -- it is for professional IT persons, and saying "via a JCL" indicates that you are a beginner or student and should post on that forum instead of this one. JCL allocates resource and invokes programs -- and that is all it does; JCL cannot, by itself, do a whole lot.
Replicating the software, replicating the delete function of the software -- either way, you are wanting to do something that is already available from the vendor and hence there is absolutely no reason for us to help you with that.
