System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual

Deleting Objects from the SYSGEN Tape 

The delete commands (DAUTO, DBOOT, DCMSL, and DSPROG) delete objects from
the list of files dumped to tape with SYSGEN's global module TAPE
command:

DAUTO deletes the specified autoboot type from the list of files.

DBOOT deletes boot images from the list of files.

DCMSL deletes segments from the CMSL.

DSPROG removes system programs or files from the configuration.

Deleting autoboot images 

The DAUTO command (abbreviated DA) deletes the specified autoboot type
from the list of files dumped onto SYSGEN's tape.  The command has the
following parameter:

     DAUTO    [TYPE  =   DISC ]
                       [ TAPE ]
                       [ BOTH ]

TYPE specifies the type of autoboot file deleted.  The following types
are allowed:

DISC   Specifies that the file applies to disk only.

TAPE   Specifies that the file applies to tape only.

BOTH   Specifies that the file applies to both disk and
       tape.

Deleting an autoboot file, creating a SYSGEN tape, and updating your
system using the newly generated tape does not remove the disk autoboot
file from the system.  Remove the disk file using the ISL INSTALL
command.

Deleting boot images 

The DBOOT command (abbreviated DB) deletes a boot image file name.  If
the boot image has an associated library, DBOOT also deletes the library.
DBOOT has the following parameter:

     DBOOT (DB)     [IMAGE     =] bootimagename 

IMAGE is a repeated parameter that specifies which boot image names you
want to delete.  If a specified boot image name does not exist in the
configuration, a warning is issued.

Use the SHOW command to display a listing of the applicable boot image
file names.

To delete one or more boot image file names, enter DBOOT and the file
name(s) to be removed at the SYSFILE prompt:

     sysfile>DBOOT filename 

Deleting compatibility mode segments from a SYSGEN tape 

The DCMSL command (abbreviated DC) deletes segments from the
compatibility mode segmented library (CMSL). The DCMSL command has the
following parameter:

     DCMSL (DC)     [SEG     =] segment-name,... 

SEG is a repeated parameter that specifies the existing segment name.  If
a nonexistent segment name is specified, an error occurs.

Use the LCMSL command to list the contents of the CMSL.

Removing system programs from a SYSGEN tape 

The DSPROG command (abbreviated DS) removes system programs or files from
the system configuration.  DSPROG has the following parameter:

     DSPROG (DS)     [PROG     =] programname,... 

PROG is a repeated parameter that specifies the system program name to be
deleted.  If a specified program name does not exist, an error occurs.

To remove a program or file name, enter the command and name:

     sysfile>DS FCOPY.PUB.SYS 

Deleting a system program does not remove it from the disk.  To remove it
from disk, an ISL INSTALL must be performed.
