<p>The Delete Form Definition (DLTFORMDF) command deletes a form definition from the specified library. If the form definition is found, it is deleted. If the form definition is not found, a message is sent to the user stating that the form definition could not be found.

<h3>Form definition (FORMDF)</h3>
<p>Specifies the form definition to be deleted. A specific form definition or a generic form definition can be specified.
</p>
<p>This is a required parameter.
</p>
<p><b>Qualifier 1: Form definition</b>
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><i>generic-name</i></b></dt>
<dd>Specify the generic name of the form definitions to delete. A generic name a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*). If a generic name is specified, then all form definitions that have names with the same prefix as the generic form definition are deleted.
</dd>
<dt><b><i>name</i></b></dt>
<dd>Specify the name of the form definition to delete.
</dd>
</dl>
<p><b>Qualifier 2: Library</b>
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><u>*LIBL</u></b></dt>
<dd>All libraries in the library list for the current thread are searched until the first match is found.
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><b>*CURLIB</b></dt>
<dd>The current library for the job is searched for form definitions to delete. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, QGPL is used.
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><b>*USRLIBL</b></dt>
<dd>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.
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><b>*ALL</b></dt>
<dd>All libraries in the system, including QSYS, are searched.
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><b>*ALLUSR</b></dt>
<dd>All user libraries are searched. All libraries with names that do not begin with the letter Q are searched except for the following:
<p>
<pre>
#CGULIB #DSULIB #SEULIB
#COBLIB #RPGLIB
#DFULIB #SDALIB
</pre>
</p>
<p>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:
</p>
<p>
<pre>
QDSNX QRCLxxxxx QUSRIJS QUSRVxRxMx
QGPL QSRVAGT QUSRINFSKR
QGPL38 QSYS2 QUSRNOTES
QMGTC QSYS2xxxxx QUSROND
QMGTC2 QS36F QUSRPOSGS
QMPGDATA QUSER38 QUSRPOSSA
QMQMDATA QUSRADSM QUSRPYMSVR
QMQMPROC QUSRBRM QUSRRDARS
QPFRDATA QUSRDIRCL QUSRSYS
QRCL QUSRDIRDB QUSRVI
</pre>
</p>
<ol>
<li>'xxxxx' is the number of a primary auxiliary storage pool (ASP).
</li>
<li>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.

<p><b>Example 1: Deleting the First Occurrence of a Specified Form Definition</b>
</p>
<p>
<pre>
DLTFORMDF FORMDF(*LIBL/FORMDF1)
</pre>

<p><b>Example 3: Deleting Form Definitions That Begin With FD</b>
</p>
<p>
<pre>
DLTFORMDF FORMDF(*USERLIBL/FD*)
</pre>
