Erasing of Deferred ARCHIVE Requests

The DERASE command can be used with the following JCL to delete requests from the DARCHIVE queue:

//jobname JOB (acct,info),etc.
//STEP EXEC DERASE
DERASE DSNAME=,ARCHIVE

DSNAME=is a list of one or more data set names or prefixes for which deferred requests are to be deleted. An acceptable abbreviation for this keyword is DSN. A maximum of 20 data set names or prefixes are allowed.

DSN=/ results in all DARCHIVE requests being deleted.

The ARCHIVE parameter indicates that the deferred requests to be deleted are archive transactions. It can be abbreviated ARC.
