DELETEWHEN

Use DELETEWHEN with the SETDEFAULTS entry type to set the default value for the DELETEWHEN keyword on ADDCONFIG and UPDATECONFIG entry types.

Specify when during processing you want i5/OS to delete the line or string from the file.

You can specify:

• ALWAYS if you want i5/OS to delete the line or string every time it processes the configuration file.
• NEVER if you want i5/OS to never delete the line or string. (NEVER is the default unless you defined a different default.)
• An expression that directs i5/OS to delete the line or string when the specified condition is true. Expressions are composed of operands (see ADDWHEN and DELETEWHEN expression operators) and must equate to either TRUE or FALSE.

  Note:

  If you do not want i5/OS to interpret an expression (such as one that contains an asterisk (*)) as a mathematical operation, enclose the expression in quotation marks. For example, to delete a line when the NWSD type is *WINDOWSNT, you can use this:

  DELETEWHEN = '(%FPANWSDTYPE%=="*WINDOWSNT")'
