explicit_route_number is the explicit route number for the route to be deleted. The value of explicit_route_number can be ER0–ER15. Up to 16 explicit route numbers can be specified in DELETER.
VTAM® deletes the specified explicit route from its routing table if the explicit route is not currently operative. If the requested explicit route is currently operative, the request is rejected and a warning message is displayed.
Note: Use extreme caution when coding this operand. Deleting
one explicit route might make several routes unusable because multiple
origin subareas can use the same routing table entry. Use the DELETER
operand only when there is no other method of correcting errors or
resolving problems. If the explicit route must be redefined, you
should use the add or replace function.
