 Figure 1-25.  Deleting a File Definition


To delete a file definition, select the appropriate Catalog
group and scroll the display until the desired file
definition appears on the screen.

Specify D in the Cmd column for the desired file.  The
confirm delete screen will be displayed.  When you press
ENTER to confirm (Figure 1-26), the file is deleted.  It
CANNOT be recovered.

 Figure 1-26.  Confirming Deletion of a File Definition


Specifying YES to delete SAS files on this confirmation
screen will invoke SAS in the foreground to delete the files
associated with the file definition.  Specifying NO will
delete the file definition without deleting the SAS files.
If you delete the file definition but do not delete the
associated SAS files, these files will no longer be
accessible by the CA MICS Capacity Planner.  If SAS files
exist for this definition, this option will default to YES;
otherwise, it will default to NO.

You would ordinarily allow this option to remain as it
defaults, unless your installation does not permit even brief
execution of SAS functions in foreground.  If you change this
option to NO, you should submit a batch job at some time in
the future to delete these SAS files.
