Obsolete Structures

Use the OBSOLETE function to remove structures or substructures in all existing statuses. It is valid only for CA Datacom/DB and CA FILE Model structures and substructures. This function has a greater impact than deleting each of the occurrences in the structures or substructures individually in each status.

When you use this function, you are stating that you no longer require this structure or substructure in CA Datacom Datadictionary. The OBSOLETE function causes all references to the occurrences in the specified structure or substructure to be removed from CA Datacom Datadictionary, including relationships.
