The Delete Graphics Symbol Set (DLTGSS) command allows you to delete a graphics symbol set or group of graphics symbol sets from one or more libraries.

Restriction: You must have object existence authority for the graphics symbol set to be deleted.

Parameters

Keyword	Description	Choices	Notes
GSS	Graphics symbol set	Qualified object name	Required, Positional 1
	Qualifier 1: Graphics symbol set	Generic name, name
	Qualifier 2: Library	Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB, *USRLIBL, *ALL, *ALLUSR

Graphics symbol set (GSS)

Specifies the name and library of the graphics symbol set(s) being deleted. A specific graphics symbol set or a generic graphics symbol set can be specified; either type can be optionally qualified by a library name.

This is a required parameter.

The possible values are:

graphics-symbol-set-name

Specify the name of the graphics symbol set being deleted.

generic*-graphics-symbol-set-name

Specify the generic name of the graphics symbol set that is being deleted. A generic name can be specified as a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*).

Caution: If a generic name is specified for the GSS parameter, then all graphics symbol sets that have names with the same prefix as the generic graphics symbol set are deleted.

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 job is used to locate the graphics symbol set. If no current library entry exists in the library list, QGPL is used.

*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.

*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.

library-name

Specify the library that is used. You must have operational authority for the library specified here.

Examples
