DELETEThis parameter must be the first parameter following DELETE.entrynameis the name of the entry to be deleted. A generic name can be coded todelete multiple entries with one entryname. (For example,GENERIC.*.BAKER is a generic name where * is any 1-to-8 charactersimple name.)Here is an example of how generic level DELETE works given thefollowing data sets:1) AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD2) AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD3) AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD.EEE4) AAA.BBB.CCCOptional ParametersDELETE AAA.* results in the deletion of no data sets.DELETE AAA.BBB.* results in the deletion of data set #4DELETE AAA.BBB.*.DDD results in the selection of data sets #1 and #2DELETE AAA.BBB.*.DDD.EEE results in the deletion of data set #3.When a generic level name is specified, only one qualifier can replace theasterisk (*).If you are deleting a member of a non-VSAM partitioned data set, theentryname must be specified in the <strong>for</strong>mat: pdsname(membername). If youare deleting a non-VSAM data set that was defined by codingDEVICETYPES(0000) and VOLUMES(******), then DELETE only uncatalogsthe data set. It does not scratch the data set from the SYSRES volume.Exception: If data set contains indirect or symbolic VOLSER, the scratchparameter will be ignored, if specified.ALIAS| ALTERNATEINDEX| CLUSTER| GENERATIONDATAGROUP|LIBRARYENTRY| NONVSAM| NVR| PAGESPACE| PATH| TRUENAME|USERCATALOG| VOLUMEENTRY| VVRspecifies the type of object or entry to be deleted. If the object to be deleted is acatalog, truename entry, or VSAM volume record, USERCATALOG,TRUENAME, NVR, or VVR is required.If you delete a migrated data set without specifying the entry type, <strong>DFSMS</strong>hsmwill delete the data set without recalling it.ALIASspecifies that the entry to be deleted is an alias entry.ALTERNATEINDEXspecifies that the object to be deleted is an alternate index and its data andindex entries. When a path entry is associated with the alternate index, thepath entry is also deleted.When the alternate index has the to-be-upgraded attribute and it is theonly such alternate index associated with the base cluster, the base cluster’supgrade-set entry is also deleted.Exception: If RLS recovery is associated with the alternate index, allknowledge of the recovery is lost as part of the delete operation.Abbreviation: AIX218 z/<strong>OS</strong> <strong>V1R6.0</strong> <strong>DFSMS</strong> <strong>Access</strong> <strong>Method</strong> <strong>Services</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Catalogs</strong>
