Deleting a Panel Definition

There are three ways to delete a panel definition:

Enter the following command from the command line.
```
DELETE PANEL panelname VERSION version
```
If you do not include the panel name and version, a prompter displays. Enter the panel name on the prompter to delete the panel definition.
Select option 4, DELETE, from the Panel Maintenance menu. The prompter displays so you can enter the name of the panel you want to delete.
From the DISPLAY INDEX line command area, enter the command DEL next to the name of the panel you want to delete. You can delete multiple panels by entering the line command for each panel you want to delete.

The following screen shows a list of the panels in the $ID system, with the delete command entered on the command line to delete the TRACK1 panel.

When the command is processed, the panel is deleted. The following screen shows the result of another DISPLAY INDEX PANEL command executed after the panel was deleted.

The Delete command removes the identification of the panel stored in the dictionary and the panel object module in the VLS library.

Duplicating a Panel Definition

There are two ways to duplicate a panel definition to a new name:

Enter the following command from the command line:
```
DUPLICATE PANEL name [VERSION version] [NEWNAME newname]
```
When you enter any information on the Identification fill‑in, you can press the PF6 (LAYOUT) key to display the Layout screen in edit mode. You can make any changes using any of the function keys, just as you would when creating a panel.
Select option 5, DUPLICATE, from the Panel Maintenance menu. The prompter displays as follows so you can complete the command.

     PLA = Plan      USR = User                             PROD
     PNL = Panel     DVW = Sequential Dataview

 (4) Original System id              (5)‑(6) "NEXT" "VERSION"
    (Default current)                              or
                                             "NEWNAME"  name
                                         (For DVW,PGM,PLA,PNL,MEM,RPT)

When you duplicate a panel to the next version, the entire definition is duplicated and the layout of the new version displays for editing.

When you enter the DUPLICATE command with the NEWNAME option, a new panel definition is created with the same parameters, layout, and attributes as the original panel. The Identification fill‑in displayed (as shown below) so you can enter the identification information to record in the dictionary.
