To Delete Objects Marked Modify

Before defining a subset to delete an object, always check the task tables. By skimming the task table for Business System Defaults, you can see that deletion of the most commonly used system defaults requires full expansion of the business system to bring in all usages.

To delete objects marked Modify in an expansion table, specify Delete as the protection option during subset definition.

1. Change the default protection option of the associated scoping object from M (Modify) to D (Delete) on the Subset Definition Summary:

             Subset type:   /Design   .Unit   .System                             
                                                                                  
             Protection   Expansion   Object   Object                             
               Option       Option     Name     Type                              
                                                                                  
                 D            ___      SALES BUS.SYS.                             
   
   

2. Specify the appropriate expansion option. For example, to delete system defaults, change the expansion option from blank (default) to F (Full).

             Subset type:   /Design   .Unit   .System                             
                                                                                  
             Protection   Expansion   Object   Object                             
               Option       Option     Name     Type                              
                                                                                  
                 D            F         SALES BUS.SYS.                            
   
   

Note: If you have Delete protection on an object marked Modify in an expansion table, you also have Modify protection on the object. Other users can obtain only Read protection on the object and cannot modify the object or even reference it so long as you have the subset that is checked out.
