DLTCHK (Delete Check) keyword for display files

You use this field-level keyword to specify that the IBM® i operating system is to ignore all validity checking and CHKMSGID keywords that are specified for a referenced field.

This keyword is valid only when R is specified in position 29.

This keyword has no parameters.

If you specify any new validity checking keywords, DLTCHK is unnecessary. The new validity checking keywords override the referenced validity checking keywords.

Option indicators are not valid for this keyword.
