Reporting Facility Commands › DELETE Command

DELETE Command

(Area 5)

The DELETE command logically deletes a specified member from the Reporting Facility call library. The system does not physically delete the library member, but marks it for deletion later when library reorganization takes place (CONDENSE function). The space on the Reporting Facility library that is marked for deletion is not available for reuse until a reorganization takes place.

If a password is required for deletions at your site, the password must be supplied on the USER statement.

The format of the DELETE command is as follows:

►►─ DELETE ─ membername ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────►◄

membername

Specifies the name of the member to delete from the call library.

Note the following:

• The system restricts use of the DELETE command to the Library Maintenance mode only.
• The DELETE command can be one of multiple Library Maintenance commands in a single Reporting Facility run.
