Deleting mode entries

To delete a mode entry, the application program issues the following macroinstructions:
  • The APPCCMD CONTROL=OPRCNTL, QUALIFY=DEFINE macroinstruction, setting the defined limits to 0 and marking the mode name as a candidate for deletion with the DELETE bit (SLDDELET) set on in the DEFINE/DISPLAY session limits control block.
  • The APPCCMD CONTROL=OPRCNTL, QUALIFY=CNOS macroinstruction, setting session limits for the mode to 0.
The application program can issue the QUALIFY=DEFINE request either before or after the CNOS request. As long as the negotiation values and session limits are both 0 and the mode name has been marked for deletion, the mode name will be deleted.
