Journal (JRN)
Specifies the name and library of the journal or journals being deleted. A specific journal name or a generic journal name can be specified; either type of journal name can be optionally qualified by a library name.
This is a required parameter.
Qualifier 1: Journal
-
- journal-name
- Specify the name of the journal that is being deleted. If *LIBL or *USRLIBL is specified as the library name, only the first journal found to have this name is deleted. If *ALLUSR or *ALL is specified for the library name, journal objects by the name specified can be deleted from multiple libraries.
- generic*-journal-name
- Specify the generic name of the journal that is being deleted. A generic name can be specified as a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*); for example, ABC*. The asterisk substitutes for any valid characters. A generic name specifies all objects with names that begin with the generic prefix for which the user has authority. If an asterisk is not included with the generic (prefix) name, the system assumes it to be the complete object name.
Qualifier 2: Library
-
- *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.
-
- *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
- 'xxxxx' is the number of a primary auxiliary storage pool (ASP).
- 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.
-
- *ALL
- All libraries in the system, including QSYS, are searched.
-
- name
- Specify the name of the library to be searched.
