for fullword signed counters and DCOUNTER for doubleword unsigned
counters.

Description
These commands delete the named
counter from the specified pool.
Options
- COUNTER(name)
- Specifies the name of the fullword counter to delete. The name
can be up to 16 alphanumeric characters. If name is
a variable that contains a name that is less than 16 characters, the
name must be padded with trailing blanks.
- DCOUNTER(name)
- Specifies the name of the doubleword counter to delete. The name
can be up to 16 alphanumeric characters. If name is
a variable that contains a name that is less than 16 characters, the
name must be padded with trailing blanks.
- POOL(poolname)
- Specifies an 8-character string to use as a pool selection parameter
to select the pool in which the named counter resides. The string
can be a logical pool name, or the actual pool name.
Valid characters
for the pool selector string are A through Z, 0 through 9, $ @ # and
_ (underscore). If name is a variable that
contains a name that is less than 8 characters, the name must be padded
with trailing blanks.
This parameter is optional. If you omit
the name of the pool, a pool selector value of 8 blanks is assumed.
If
there is no matching entry in the DFHNCOPT options table, CICS® uses
the name specified on the NCPLDFT system initialization parameter,
which specifies the default named counter pool.

Conditions
- 16 INVREQ
- RESP2 values:
- 201
- Named counter not found.
- 301
- The server has reported an error code that is not understood by
the named counter interface. Generally, this is not possible unless
the interface load module, DFHNCIF, is at a lower maintenance or release
level than the server itself.
- 303
- An unexpected error, such as structure failure or loss of connectivity,
has occurred on a macro used to access the coupling facility. Further
information is in message DFHNC0441 in the application job log.
- 304
- The pool selection parameter specified in the program cannot be
resolved to a valid server name using the current options table.
- 305
- The interface cannot establish a connection to the server for
the selected named counter pool. Further information is in an AXM
services message (AXMSCnnnn) in the application
job log.
- 306
- An abend occurred during server processing of a request. Further
information is in a message in the application job log and the server
job log.
- 308
- The DFHNCOPT options table module, required to resolve a pool
name, cannot be loaded.
- 309
- During processing of the options table, the named counter interface
encountered an unknown entry format. Either the options table is not
correctly generated, or the DFHNCIF interface load module is not at
the same release level as the options table.
- 310
- An options table entry that matches the given pool name specified
a user exit program, but the user exit program is not link-edited
with the options table and cannot be loaded.
- 311
- A response from the named counter server to the client region
interface module, DFHNCIF, indicates that a system-managed rebuild
is in progress but the EXEC CICS interface does not recognize the
condition. This means that the CICS region is at CICS TS 2.1 or earlier.
- 403
- The POOL parameter contains invalid characters or embedded spaces.
Default action: terminate the task abnormally.
