how to delete a particular record in dataset without copying it to another dataset by eliminating that single record...
You can't do that in QSAM processing. The entire dataset has to be read and then re-written with the deleted record omitted. It's not a good idea to read and write to the same dataset.
Just use an editor and delete the required record instead.
