DLTGENLIB -- Delete Generic Library

DLTGENLIB DELETE GENERIC LIBRARY TAALIDD
The Delete Generic Library command deletes one library or generic libraries. You must have ALLOBJ special authority to use DLTGENLIB. You cannot delete a library beginning with the letter Q or the letters TAA. A typical command would be: DLTGENLIB LIB(xxx) All libraries with the generic name would be deleted. An option exists to allow the deletion only if the create date is LE a specified date or a number of days. DLTGENLIB escape messages you can monitor for --------------------------------------------- TAA9891 One or more libraries could not be deleted Escape messages from based on functions will be re-sent. Command parameters CMD ------------------ LIB The library or generic library name to be deleted. CRTDATE The create date to compare to against the library created date. NONE is the default meaning that library create dates are not considered. A date may be entered (job format) to compare to the date the library was created. If the specified date is GE to the library create date, the library would be deleted. The library must also be selected by the LIB parameter. For example, if the library was created on July 1, 2013 and you specified a date of Aug 1, 2013, the library would be deleted. DLTDAYS The number of days to compare against the library created date. Either CRTDATE or DLTDAYS may be specified, but not both. The number of days may be entered in a range of -9998 to 9999. The date to compare against is determined by converting the number of days. If the specified date is GE to the library create date, the library would be deleted. For example, if the current date is Dec 5, 2013 and DAYS(10) is entered, the comparison date would be Dec 15, 2013. If the library was created on Nov 20, 2013, the library would be deleted.

Command parameters                                    *CMD
------------------

   LIB           The library or generic library name to be deleted.

   CRTDATE       The  create date  to  compare to  against the  library
                 created date.

                 *NONE  is  the  default  meaning  that  library create
                 dates are not considered.

                 A date may be entered  (job format) to compare to  the
                 date the library  was created.  If  the specified date
                 is *GE  to the library create  date, the library would
                 be deleted.   The  library must  also be  selected  by
                 the LIB parameter.

                 For example,  if the  library was  created on July  1,
                 2013  and you  specified a  date of  Aug 1,  2013, the
                 library would be deleted.

   DLTDAYS       The  number  of days  to  compare against  the library
                 created  date.   Either  CRTDATE  or  DLTDAYS  may  be
                 specified, but not both.

                 The  number of  days  may  be entered  in  a range  of
                 -9998  to  9999.    The  date  to  compare against  is
                 determined by converting the number  of days.  If  the
                 specified  date is  *GE to  the  library create  date,
                 the library would be deleted.

                 For  example, if the current  date is Dec  5, 2013 and
                 DAYS(10) is  entered,  the comparison  date  would  be
                 Dec 15, 2013.   If the library was created  on Nov 20,
                 2013, the library would be deleted.
