Parameters for REMOVE command

The REMOVE command removes one or more selected database data sets from a recovery list. It can remove an individual DBDS entry, database, or a DBRC group. It reverses ADD command actions. The list must have been built by one or more ADD commands and the REMOVE command must come before the START command.

DBDSs and areas are specified the same way as in the ADD command.
