RUV can obtain the information to create the DELETE/DEFINE statements from the following sources:

  • The system catalog
  • The RUV repository

If the information is available in both the system catalog and in the repository, RUV displays a pop-up window for you to select the source that you want to use. If the information is not available from either source, RUV displays a message saying that no DELETE/DEFINE information is available.

You can edit any of the displayed statements and save the changes. In this way, you can use the selected VSAM file as a model for creating or changing other files.

You can enter the PERDD command to execute the DELETE/DEFINE commands. A message is displayed to indicate whether the DELETE/DEFINE operation has been successful.

Error
Warning

When you enter the PERDD command, the file that is named in the statements is deleted and defined immediately. Ensure that you have specified the correct file name to prevent the inadvertent deletion of the wrong file.
