DELETE-DISTRIB

The DELETE-DISTRIB command detaches (de-references) a component part file from a distributed file.

Syntax

DELETE-DISTRIB FileName PartNumber

Syntax Elements

Element	Description
FileName	The name of the Distributed File
PartNumber	An integer from 1 through 254 inclusive which was used to associate the Part File to the Distributed File

Notes

If the user-defined partition method is used, you should ensure that the subroutine used for the partition algorithm does access the de-referenced file.

If the system partition method is used, you should ensure that no keys are created which can read from or write to the de-referenced file.

Detaches (de-references) the 42nd part file from the distributed file INVENTORY.
