Delete Existing Text

When you delete all lines of text in a classification, CA Datacom Datadictionary deletes the classification.

To delete a single line of text, type D in the line number of the line of text to be deleted.
To delete a line of text on a panel without the line numbers displayed (use the SET NONUM command), type the DELETE command on a command line, place the cursor on the line to be deleted and press Enter.
To delete a block of text, type DD in the line number of the first line and last line of the block to be deleted and press Enter.
To delete a block of text from a specific line through the bottom of existing text, type DB in the line number of the first line of text to be deleted and press Enter. This deletes the line of text and all lines of existing text following this line.
To delete a block of text from a specific line through the top of existing text, type DT in the line number of the last line of text to be deleted and press Enter. This deletes the line of text and all lines of existing text preceding this line.

After completing your entries, press PF9 (APPLY). If there are no errors, CA Datacom Datadictionary displays the DATADICTIONARY Entity Maintenance panel with a message confirming successful completion of the function.
