In ENTMAINT Mode

You can remove an occurrence from CA Datacom Datadictionary with the DELETE command in the ENTMAINT Mode. You cannot use the DELETE command in this mode to remove a CA Datacom/DB Model or CA FILE Model structure.

With the proper authorization, you can delete an occurrence in HIST status. The maximum number of HIST status versions is specified in the ENTY-HIST-VERS attribute of the TABLE occurrence for the entity in the DATA-DICT database. For more information about this attribute, see the section about TABLE occurrences in the CA Datacom Datadictionary Attribute Reference Guide.

Use the following format for this command:

Note: If your completed command exceeds the 76 spaces available in one command line, use the prompter panel to issue the command.
