The CEDA DELETE command

Use the CEDA DELETE command to delete one or more resource definitions from the CSD file.

Syntax

Description

Deleting a resource definition is different from removing a group from a list (see The CEDA REMOVE command). A deleted resource definition really does disappear from the CSD file.

When you DELETE the last resource in a group, the group is automatically deleted. An empty group cannot exist.

This command does not affect definitions installed on the active CICS® system. To remove installed definitions from the active CICS system, you can use either the CEMT DISCARD transaction or the EXEC CICS DISCARD command.

Options

All: specifies that all resources are to be deleted from the group.
Group(groupname): specifies the group containing the resource. Do not use a generic group name.
REMove: specifies that, when a group is deleted, the group is to be removed from all lists that had contained it.
resource(name): specifies the type and name of the resource you want to delete. You can use a generic resource name.

Examples

To delete all resources in a group:
```
DELETE ALL GROUP(TOPS)
```
To delete all programs in a group:
```
DELETE PROGRAM(*) GROUP(NSOS)
```
