Syntax

/DELETE BID=bundle-id
        DISTID=distribution-id
        JOB=jobname
        RID=report-id

where:

bundle-id

Specifies the name of the bundle to be deleted.

distribution-id

Specifies the name of the distribution identifier to be deleted.

DISTID can be abbreviated as DID.

Note: If the Distribution-ID contains embedded blanks, enclose it in quotes (single or double). Any quote in Dist-ID must be entered as a pair of quotes because a non-paired quote ends the ID.

For example, if the value is JIM’S DESK, enter it as ‘JIM’’S DESK’ or “JIM’S DESK”.

jobname

Specifies the name of the job to be deleted.

report-id

Specifies the name of the report identifier to be deleted.

Note: You can use an asterisk as a wildcard to represent zero or more characters at the end of job names or bundle, distribution, or report identifiers. You cannot use the wildcard at the beginning or in the middle of job names or identifiers, but you can use it alone (/DELETE JOB=*, to delete all jobs, for example).

The BID, DISTID, JOB, and RID keywords are mutually exclusive.
