HELPLIB.HLB  —  DELETE  /KEY
    Deletes key definitions that have been established by the
    DEFINE/KEY command. The /KEY qualifier is required.

    Format

      DELETE/KEY  [key-name]

1  –  Parameter

 key-name

    Specifies the name of the key to be deleted. This parameter is
    incompatible with the /ALL qualifier.

2  –  Qualifiers

2.1    /ALL

    Deletes all key definitions in the specified state; the default
    is the current state. If you use the /ALL qualifier, do not
    specify a key name. Use the /STATE qualifier to specify one or
    more states.

2.2    /LOG

       /LOG (default)
       /NOLOG

    Controls whether messages are displayed indicating that the
    specified key definitions have been deleted.

2.3    /STATE

       /STATE=(state-name[,...])
       /NOSTATE (default)

    Specifies the name of the state for which the specified key
    definition is to be deleted. The default state is the current
    state. If you specify only one state name, you can omit the
    parentheses. State names can be any alphanumeric string.

3  –  Examples

    1.$ DELETE/KEY/ALL
      %DCL-I-DELKEY, DEFAULT key PF1 has been deleted
      %DCL-I-DELKEY, DEFAULT key PF2 has been deleted
      %DCL-I-DELKEY, DEFAULT key PF3 has been deleted
      %DCL-I-DELKEY, DEFAULT key PF4 has been deleted
      $

      In this example, the user has defined keys PF1 to PF4 in
      the default state. The DELETE/KEY command deletes all key
      definitions in the current state, which is the default state.

    2.$ DEFINE/KEY PF3 "SHOW TIME" /TERMINATE
      %DCL-I-DEFKEY, DEFAULT key PF3 has been defined
      $ <PF3>
      $ SHOW TIME
       14-DEC-2001 14:43:59
         .
         .
         .
      $ DELETE/KEY PF3
      %DCL-I-DELKEY, DEFAULT key PF3 has been deleted
      $ <PF3>
      $

      In this example, the DEFINE/KEY command defines the PF3 key on
      the keypad as SHOW TIME. To delete the definition for the PF3
      key, use the DELETE/KEY command. When the user presses PF3,
      only the system prompt is displayed.
