The DELETE-LIST command removes the pointer to a saved select-list. When a select-list is deleted, the frames used to store it are returned to the available space table.

Parameter(s)

Deleting a Saved Select-list
Assume that you created a select-list to use in a series of operations. When these operations are complete, you want to delete the select-list to conserve disk space. This example deletes the previously saved select-list called LATE from the CUSTOMER file:
|
> DELETE-LIST CUSTOMER LATE 'LATE' DELETED. |
