FTERASE—erase file tailoring output

The FTERASE service erases a member of a file tailoring output library.

A severe error occurs if a specified library or the default, ISPFILE, is a sequential file.

Command invocation format


>>-ISPEXEC--FTERASE--member-name--+------------------+---------><
                                  '-LIBRARY(library)-'

Call invocation format


>>-CALL--ISPEXEC--(buf-len,--buffer);--------------------------><


>>-CALL--ISPLINK--('FTERASEb'--,--member-name------------------->

>--,-+-library-+-);--------------------------------------------><
     '-'b'-----'

Parameters

member-name: Specifies the name of the member that is to be deleted from the output library.
library: Specifies the name of a DD statement or lib-type on the LIBDEF service request that defines the output library that holds the member to be deleted. ISPFILE is the default if this parameter is omitted.
buf-len: Specifies a fullword fixed binary integer containing the length of "buffer".
buffer: Specifies a buffer containing the name of the service and its parameters in the same form as they would appear in an ISPEXEC call for a command procedure.

Return codes

These return codes are possible:

0: Normal completion.
8: File does not exist.
12: Output file in use; ENQ failed.
16: Alternate output library not allocated.
20: Severe error.

Example

Erase member TELOUT in the file tailoring output library.

ISPEXEC FTERASE TELOUT

Set the program variable BUFFER to contain:

FTERASE TELOUT

Set program variable BUFLEN to the length of the variable BUFFER. Enter the command:

CALL ISPEXEC (BUFLEN, BUFFER);

or alternately

CALL ISPLINK ('FTERASE ','TELOUT ');
