The Delete User Space (DLTUSRSPC) command deletes a user space from the system. The user who enters this command must have *OBJEXIST authority and *USE authority for the user space being deleted.

Parameters

Keyword	Description	Choices	Notes
USRSPC	User space	Qualified object name	Required, Positional 1
	Qualifier 1: User space	Generic name, name
	Qualifier 2: Library	Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB, *USRLIBL, *ALL, *ALLUSR

User space (USRSPC)

Specifies the name and library of the user space that is to be deleted. A specific user space or generic user space can be specified; either type can be optionally qualified by a library.

This is a required parameter.

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 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.

*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.

library-name

Specify the name of the library to be searched.

The possible user space values are:

user-space-name

Specify the name of the user space that is to be deleted.

generic*-user-space-name

Specify the generic name of the user space. A generic name is a character string of one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*); for example, ABC*. If a generic name is specified, all user spaces with names that begin with the generic name, and for which the user has authority, are shown.

Examples

DLTUSRSPC   USRSPC(MYBEST/USRSPCTEST)

This command deletes the user space named USRSPCTEST in the library named MYBEST from the system.
