Deleting a Mailbox (IXZXIXMD Macro)

When a JDU terminates or no longer needs to communicate with other JDUs, you can delete the mailbox. When you delete a mailbox, JES XCF acknowledges those messages it deletes. Further, for message type ASYNCACK, JES XCF places a return and reason code in the message envelope, IXZYIXEN, in fields SYSTEM_RETURN_CODE and SYSTEM_REASON_CODE, indicating the messages were deleted, but not processed by the receiver.

To delete a mailbox, issue the IXZXIXMD macro. When you issue IXZXIXMD, you must:

Identify the mailbox to be deleted by providing the mailbox name. (MBOXNAME= parameter)
Provide the group token that identifies your JES XCF member. (GROUPTOKEN= parameter)

Be certain that whenever you delete a mailbox, you do it under the same task that built the mailbox.
