DISCARD PROFILE
Remove a PROFILE definition.
Description
The DISCARD PROFILE command removes the definition of a profile from the local CICS system, so that the system no longer has access to the profile; that is, it revokes the earlier installation of a PROFILE resource definition of the same name. You cannot discard a profile while any installed TRANSACTION definitions point to it.
See Discarding resource definitions for general information about discards.
