ACCOUNT-DELETE subcommand
Use the DELETE subcommand to delete node(s) from the UADS and user IDs from the broadcast data set. Each terminal user has an entry in the UADS; and each entry may contain several nodes. The node(s) that you want to delete may be a part of an entry, or may be an entire entry.
The syntax of the DELETE subcommand of ACCOUNT to delete particular node(s) from an entry in the UADS is:
- The first parameter (enclosed within parentheses) is the positional parameter (nodelist); all others are keyword parameters.
- When you delete all nodes under a user ID, TSO/E deletes the user ID.
- The explicit specification of the same item in both the positional and DATA parameters is not valid.
- If you created (with the ADD subcommand) an entry in the UADS with an asterisk (*) specification for password and/or account number, an explicit specification of password and/or acct-nmbr for the particular user ID is not valid.
