The Delete Page Segment (DLTPAGSEG) command deletes a page segment from the specified library. If the page segment is found, it is deleted. If the page segment is not found, a message is sent to the user stating that the page segment could not be found.

Parameters

Keyword	Description	Choices	Notes
PAGSEG	Page segment	Qualified object name	Required, Positional 1
	Qualifier 1: Page segment	Generic name, name
	Qualifier 2: Library	Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB, *USRLIBL, *ALL, *ALLUSR

Page segment (PAGSEG)

Specifies the page segment to delete. A specific page segment or a generic page segment can be specified.

This is a required parameter.

Qualifier 1: Page segment

generic-name

Specify the generic name of the page segments to delete. A generic name is a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*). If a generic name is specified, then all page segments that have names with the same prefix as the generic page segment name are deleted.

name

Specify the name of the page segment to delete.

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 job is searched for page segments to delete. If no library specified as the current library for the job, QGPL is used.

*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   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

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 a library name. Only the library named in this parameter is searched for page segments to delete.

Examples

Example 1: Deleting a Page Segment in the Library List

DLTPAGSEG   PAGSEG(*LIBL/PAGSEG1)

This command deletes the page segment named PAGSEG1 if it is in a library in the library list. Only the first occurrence is deleted if there is more than one library containing PAGSEG1 in the library list.

Example 2: Deleting a Page Segment in All Libraries

DLTPAGSEG   PAGSEG(*ALL/PAGSEG1)

This command deletes all the page segments named PAGSEG1, including any IBM supplied page segments with that name.

Example 3: Deleting Page Segments in Current Library

DLTPAGSEG   PAGSEG(*CURLIB/PG*)

This command deletes all the page segments whose names begin with PG that are in the job's current library.
