Example 4: Deleting Profile Sessions

An administrator is going to delete a session with a session ID of CICSTST. But first, the administrator wants to make sure that the session is deleted from the profile records that have session records for CICSTST. The administrator uses the following control statements:

EXTRACT GIVING(CICSPROF) PROFILE AND MATCHING SESSIONS (PENTUSER(CICSTST)) 
DELETE PROFILESESSION USING(CICSPROF)

The EXTRACT statement produces the extract file named CICSPROF, which contains the profile definition and the CICSTST session record for each profile that has a CICSTST session defined. Records for the other sessions in the profile are not included in the extract file. The DELETE statement deletes the profile session records that appear in the extract file named CICSPROF (all CICSTST sessions).
