damrm (Remove a logical file)

The damrm command closes a specified logical file and removes it from the online system. Before a logical file can be removed, it must be placed on shutdown status.

A file on error shutdown status can also be removed from the online system.

A DAM file being opened in the online mode cannot be removed from the online system by executing the damrm command. To remove the file, it is necessary to close the logical file for all applicable services.

However, if a transaction that accesses the logical file remains uncompleted, you cannot delete the logical file, even if the file is closed. In this case, the message KFCA02573-E is output, and processing is interrupted. For this reason, take care when you execute the damrm command on a DAM file that is accessed by a large number of transactions.
