Delete Subsystem Description (DLTSBSD)

The Delete Subsystem Description (DLTSBSD) command deletes the specified subsystem descriptions (including any work entries or routing entries added to them) from the system. Job queues assigned to this subsystem by the Add Job Queue Entry (ADDJOBQE) command are not deleted. The associated subsystem must be inactive before it can be deleted.

Restrictions:

  1. To use this command, you must have:
    • use (*USE) and object existance (*OBJEXIST) authority to the specified subsystem description and execute (*EXECUTE) authority to the library containing that subsystem description.
  2. This command cannot be run if an active subsystem is associated with this description.

Parameters

Keyword Description Choices Notes
SBSD Subsystem description Qualified object name Required, Positional 1
Qualifier 1: Subsystem description Generic name, name
Qualifier 2: Library Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB, *USRLIBL, *ALL, *ALLUSR

Subsystem description (SBSD)

Specifies the name and library of the subsystem descriptions being deleted. A specific subsystem description or a generic subsystem description can be specified; either type can be qualified by a library name.

This is a required parameter.

Qualifier 1: Subsystem description

generic-name
Specify the generic name of the subsystem descriptions being deleted. A generic name is a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*). If a generic name is specified for this parameter, then all subsystem descriptions with names that have the same prefix as the generic subsystem description are deleted.
name
Specify the name of the subsystem description being deleted.

Qualifier 2: Library

*LIBL
All libraries in the thread's library list are searched until a match is found. If a specific object name is specified (instead of a generic name), only the first object found to have that name is deleted.
*CURLIB
The current library for the thread is used to locate the object. If no library is specified as the current library for the thread, the QGPL library is used.
*USRLIBL
Only the libraries listed in the user portion of the library list are searched. If a specific object name is specified (instead of a generic name), only the first object found with that name is deleted.
*ALL
All libraries in auxiliary storage pools (ASPs) that are currently part of the thread's library name space will be searched. This includes the system ASP (ASP 1), all defined basic user ASPs (ASPs 2-32), and, if the thread has an ASP group, the primary and secondary ASPs in the thread's ASP group. Only your own QTEMP library is searched. All objects matching the specified name and object type in all libraries in the thread's name space are deleted.
*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.
name
Specify the library where the subsystem description is located.

Examples

DLTSBSD   SBSD(LIB1/BAKER)

This command deletes the inactive subsystem description called BAKER from library LIB1.
