To delete baseline generations in batch mode

1. Make a copy of the JCL in the ACMBDELB member located in hlq.BMCCNTL.

2. In an ISPF editor, perform the following actions for the placeholders in the JCL as follows:

   Placeholder	Action
   <INSERT JOB CARD>	Replace with a job card for your environment.

   <SSID>	Replace with the ID of the Db2 subsystem on which you are running the utility.

3. Remove the sample batch baseline commands in the ALUIN DD.

   ***  
   ** DELETE THE EARLIEST GENERATION OF A BASELINE CREATED WITH A BASLINE PROFILE
   ***                                                                       
   DELETE BLPROFILE(PROFCR.MPSAMP3(-10))
   
   ***
   ** DELETE THE LATEST GENERATION OF A BASELINE CREATED WITH A BASELINE PROFILE
   ***
   DELETE BLPROFIILE(PROFCR.BPCAT01(0))
   
   ***
   ** GENERATE A REPORT THAT LISTS ALL BASELINES CREATED WITH A BASELINE PROFILE AND
   ** HIGHLIGHTS THE BASELINE IDENTIFIED FOR DELETION.
