Using Extract Files for Updating › Delete Mail Locators › Operand Explanations › Example

Example

An administrator wants to delete mail messages in the mailboxes of users whose IDs are no longer valid. The user IDs were named using an old naming convention and all begin with HSP. The administrator uses the following control statements:

EXTRACT GIVING (OLDMAIL) MAILMESSAGE (MLOCTO (HSP-----))
DELETE MAILMESSAGE USING (OLDMAIL)

The EXTRACT statement produces the extract file named OLDMAIL, which contains all of the mail locators for all users whose IDs begin with HSP. The DELETE MAILMESSAGE statement deletes all of these mail locators.
