OPTION

This parameter provides the user with some flexibility when deleting model versions. For a model version, the user can either physically delete it or hide it by making the version non-current. When using the generic delete for archives, the user can perform a prepass, which will build a list of affected versions without actually deleting them.

Only qualified versions will be processed, meaning that the version must not be used by any other model object. Values for this parameter are described in the following:

• *DELETE—(default) Special value meaning that versions that qualify for processing are physically deleted.
• *HIDE—Special value meaning that versions that qualify for processing are not deleted but made non-current. They will not, by default, be shown on model panels. If a version is already non-current it remains unaffected by this process.
• *PREPASS—For the *ARCHIVES processing only. Special value meaning that the archives that qualify for processing should be written to the out list but not physically deleted.
