Delete a Member from a Symbolic File

To delete a member from a symbolic file

1. Select SYM option 1 to display the PROTSYM Directory or CSL Directory panel.
2. Type the D line command to delete the desired member.

   Because this action is potentially destructive, you are prompted for confirmation before the member is deleted, as shown in the following screen:

3. Press Enter to delete the member, or END to cancel the request.

To suppress confirmation for the remainder of the session, type N in the Display this message? field located at the bottom of the confirmation pop-up window.

To suppress all delete confirmations for your ID, use the PROFILE command.

Note: A password must be entered before a member can be deleted from a PROTSYM file. The password is established during product installation. Check with your system administrator before attempting to delete a PROTSYM member. After you are given access to the correct password, use the PROFILE command to store the password in your profile to avoid entering it every time.
