COF DELETE—Delete Transient Data Queue Name List

This command deletes any defined or default transient data queue name lists that match the selection criteria specified on the command.

This command has the following format:

ADDRESS OPSCTL "COF DELETE keywords"
  {JOBNAME(jobname)}
  [STEPNAME(stepname|taskid)]
  [STATUS(ACTIVE|INACTIVE)]
  [OUTPUT|NOOUTPUT]
  [SYSTEM(sysname)]
  [SYSWAIT(seconds)]
JOBNAME(jobname)

Defines the one- to eight-character job name of the CICS region. When specifying the job name, you may use the wildcard suffix, or specify * by itself to match all job names.

STEPNAME(stepname|taskid)

(Optional) Defines the one- to eight-character step name of the CICS region (or task ID for a started task).

This keyword is intended for sites that use a shared CICS JCL PROC to start CICS regions. Since all CICS regions have the same job name at such sites, use the STEPNAME keyword to differentiate the various regions.

You must include the STEPNAME keyword in your COF DELETE command to delete any transient data queue names whose definitions included the STEPNAME keyword.

When specifying the step name, you may use the wildcard suffix, or specify * by itself to match all step names.

STATUS(ACTIVE|INACTIVE)

(Optional) Limits the action of the DELETE command to either ACTIVE or INACTIVE lists:

ACTIVE

Lists in use by a CICS region

INACTIVE

Lists not currently in use by a CICS region

OUTPUT, NOOUTPUT, SYSTEM(sysname), and SYSWAIT(seconds)

(Optional) You may specify the keywords common to all ADDRESS OPSCTL COF commands.
