Delete Font Resource (DLTFNTRSC)

The Delete Font Resource (DLTFNTRSC) command deletes a font resource from the specified library. If the font resource is found, it is deleted. If the font resource is not found, a message is sent to the user stating that the font resource could not be found.

Parameters

Keyword Description Choices Notes
FNTRSC Font resource Qualified object name Required, Positional 1
Qualifier 1: Font resource Generic name, name
Qualifier 2: Library Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB, *USRLIBL, *ALL, *ALLUSR

Font resource (FNTRSC)

Specifies the font resource to delete. A specific font resource or a generic font resource can be specified.

This is a required parameter.

Qualifier 1: Font resource

generic-name
Specify the generic name of the font resources to delete. A generic name is a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*). If a generic name is specified, then all font resources that have names with the same prefix as the generic font resource name are deleted.
name
Specify the name of the font resource to delete.

Qualifier 2: Library

*LIBL
All libraries in the library list for the current thread are searched until the first match is found.
*CURLIB
The current library for the job is searched for font resources to delete. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, QGPL is used.
*USRLIBL
If a current library entry exists in the library list for the current thread, the current library and the libraries in the user portion of the library list are searched. If there is no current library entry, only the libraries in the user portion of the library list are searched.
*ALL
All libraries in the system, including QSYS, are searched.
*ALLUSR
All user libraries are searched. All libraries with names that do not begin with the letter Q are searched except for the following: 

#CGULIB     #DSULIB     #SEULIB
#COBLIB     #RPGLIB
#DFULIB     #SDALIB

Although the following Qxxx libraries are provided by IBM, they typically contain user data that changes frequently. Therefore, these libraries are considered user libraries and are also searched: 

QDSNX       QRCLxxxxx   QUSRDIRDB   QUSRVI
QGPL        QSRVAGT     QUSRIJS     QUSRVxRxMx
QGPL38      QSYS2       QUSRINFSKR
QMGTC       QSYS2xxxxx  QUSRNOTES
QMGTC2      QS36F       QUSROND
QMPGDATA    QUSER38     QUSRPOSGS
QMQMDATA    QUSRADSM    QUSRPOSSA
QMQMPROC    QUSRBRM     QUSRPYMSVR
QPFRDATA    QUSRDIRCF   QUSRRDARS
QRCL        QUSRDIRCL   QUSRSYS

  1. 'xxxxx' is the number of a primary auxiliary storage pool (ASP).
  2. A different library name, in the format QUSRVxRxMx, can be created by the user for each previous release supported by IBM to contain any user commands to be compiled in a CL program for the previous release. For the QUSRVxRxMx user library, VxRxMx is the version, release, and modification level of a previous release that IBM continues to support.

Examples

Example 1: Deleting a Font Resource in the Current Library 

DLTFNTRSC   FNTRSC(*CURLIB/FNTRSC1)

This command deletes the font resource FNTRSC1 if it is in the current library.

Example 2: Deleting Font Resources in All Libraries 

DLTFNTRSC   FNTRSC(*ALLUSR/FNTRSC1)

This command deletes all the font resources named FNTRSC1 in all the user's libraries. Libraries starting with a Q, except for QPGL, are not searched.

Example 3: Deleting Font Resources that Begin with FD 

DLTFNTRSC   FNTRSC(*LIBL/FD*)

This command deletes all the font resources that begin with FD in the job's library list.
