Positional and keyword parameters
DELETE -
USERCAT -
USERCAT is a positional parameter that
specifies the entry name to be deleted.VOLUME (25DATA)
VOLUME
is a keyword that indicates that the value 25DATA is a volume serial
number.A keyword parameter can have a set of subparameters. Subparameters follow the same rules as parameter sets in general. When the subparameters are positional, the first subparameter is always required.
DELETE(entryname [...])
indicates
that the list of entry names must be enclosed in parentheses if more
than one entry is to be deleted. If only one entry name is given,
the parentheses are not required.OBJECTS((entryname NEWNAME (newname))...)
the
following are valid: OBJECTS -
(ENTRY1 NEWNAME(NEWNAME1))
Here, only one entry is
to be renamed. The entry name and its new name are enclosed in parentheses.
OBJECTS (-
(ENTRY1 NEWNAME(NEWNAME1)) -
(ENTRY2 NEWNAME(NEWNAME2)) -
)
Here, each entry name and its new name are
enclosed in parentheses and the entire list is enclosed in parentheses.All parameters and subparameters must be separated from each other by one or more separators (commas, blanks, or comments). There is one exception: parameters do not need to be separated from the closing parenthesis when they immediately follow a subparameter set already enclosed in parentheses.
A value cannot have commas, semicolons, blanks, parentheses, or slashes unless the entire value is enclosed in single quotation marks. A single quotation mark in a field enclosed in single quotation marks must be coded as two single quotation marks.
The values you specify in the parameters can be surrounded by separators. Some values can be longer than a single record. When a value is longer than a single record, you indicate that it is continued by coding a plus sign followed only by blanks or a comment. The first nonseparator character found in a record following the plus sign is treated as a continuation of the value.
