Keyword Description Choices Notes
MGTCOL Management collection Qualified object name Required, Positional 1
Qualifier 1: Management collection Generic name, name
Qualifier 2: Library Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB, *USRLIBL, *ALL, *ALLUSR

Management collection (MGTCOL)

Specifies the name and library of the management collection object that is to be deleted. A specific or generic management collection object can be specified; either type can be optionally qualified by a library.

This is a required parameter.

The possible library values are:

*LIBL
All libraries in the library list for the current thread are searched until the first match is found.
*CURLIB
The current library for the thread is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the thread, the QGPL library is searched.
*USRLIBL
If a current library entry exists in the library list for the current thread, the current library and the libraries in the user portion of the library list are searched. If there is no current library entry, only the libraries in the user portion of the library list are searched.
*ALL
All libraries in the system, including QSYS, are searched.
*ALLUSR
All user libraries are searched. All libraries with names that do not begin with the letter Q are searched except for the following: 

#CGULIB     #DSULIB     #SEULIB
#COBLIB     #RPGLIB
#DFULIB     #SDALIB

Although the following Qxxx libraries are provided by IBM, they typically contain user data that changes frequently. Therefore, these libraries are considered user libraries and are also searched: 

QDSNX       QRCLxxxxx   QUSRDIRDB   QUSRVI
QGPL        QSRVAGT     QUSRIJS     QUSRVxRxMx
QGPL38      QSYS2       QUSRINFSKR
QMGTC       QSYS2xxxxx  QUSRNOTES
QMGTC2      QS36F       QUSROND
QMPGDATA    QUSER38     QUSRPOSGS
QMQMDATA    QUSRADSM    QUSRPOSSA
QMQMPROC    QUSRBRM     QUSRPYMSVR
QPFRDATA    QUSRDIRCF   QUSRRDARS
QRCL        QUSRDIRCL   QUSRSYS

  1. 'xxxxx' is the number of a primary auxiliary storage pool (ASP).
  2. A different library name, in the format QUSRVxRxMx, can be created by the user for each previous release supported by IBM to contain any user commands to be compiled in a CL program for the previous release. For the QUSRVxRxMx user library, VxRxMx is the version, release, and modification level of a previous release that IBM continues to support.
library-name
Specify the name of the library to be searched.

The possible user space values are:

management-collection-object-name
Specify the name of the managment collection object that is to be deleted.
generic*-management-collection-object-name
Specify the generic name of the management collection object. A generic name is a character string of one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*); for example, ABC*. If a generic name is specified, all management collection objects with names that begin with the generic name, and for which the user has authority, are deleted.

Examples 

DLTMGTCOL   MGTCOL(MYLIB/Q099365001)

This command deletes the management collection object named Q099365001 in library from library MYLIB.
