The VERDEL service deletes the information about a versioned or audited member from SCLM. The information is deleted from the auditing data set defined in the project definition and from the versioning PDS associated with the audit record, if it exists. The partitioned data set used for storing the versions is also updated for deletion of the version. The date and time specified to the service must exactly match the date and time of the audit and version information to delete. Use the VERINFO service to obtain the dates and times of audit and version information.

Parameters

project

The project name. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters. This parameter is used for FLMCMD only.

prj_def

The project definition name. It defaults to the project name. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters. This parameter is used for FLMCMD only.

sclm_id

An SCLM ID associated with a given project and project definition. The INIT service generates the SCLM ID. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters. This parameter is used for FLMLNK only.

group

The group associated with the version or audit record. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters.

type

The type associated with the version or audit record. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters.

member

The member that has the version or audit record. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters.

date

The date of the version or audit record. The date must be specified in the format given in the ZDATEF ISPF variable. Either the date or the longdate parameter is required. If both are given, the date parameter is used. The length of this parameter is 8 characters.

time

The time of the version or audit record. The format for the time is HH:MM:SS.hh or HH:MM:SS,hh where HH is the hour from a 24 hour clock, MM is the minute, SS is the seconds and hh is the hundredths of seconds. The length of this parameter is 11 characters.

dd_msgs

The ddname indicating the destination of the messages generated by the VERDEL service. If you specify a blank ddname, SCLM routes the VERDEL messages to the default output device, such as your terminal. Otherwise, before you call the VERDEL service, you must allocate the ddname. The following attributes should be used: RECFM=F, LRECL=80, BLKSIZE=80. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters. This parameter is used for FLMCMD only.

$msg_array

An output parameter pointing to the message array. See Pointer parameter descriptions for more information about $msg_array. This parameter is used for FLMLNK only.

longdate

The date of the version or audit record. The longdate, with a 4-character year, must be specified in the national language format. Either the date or the longdate parameter is required. If both are given, the date parameter is used. The length of this parameter is 10 characters.

Return codes

Additional special services messages are written to the FLMMSGS ddname. See SCLM service messages for more information.

Other return codes might be produced by the FLMCMD or the FLMLNK processor. See SCLM service return codes for more information.
