EQQDELDS/EQQCLEAN Catalog exit (EQQUXCAT)

EQQUXCAT is called by the sample EQQDELDS or EQQCLEAN program before performing any simple cleanup action. Because in some cases EQQCLEAN might delete a data set by mistake, it is recommended that you protect critical data sets from deletion by using either the RCLOPTS parameters (DDPROT, DDPRMEM, DSNPROT, DSNPRMEM) or the EQQUXCAT exit. EQQDELDS and EQQCLEAN do not perform the action when the return code is set to a nonzero value.

The sample library SEQQSAMP that was created during installation contains the EQQUXCAT exit, which is a sample of EQQDELDS/EQQCLEAN exits. For information about this library and its samples, see Sample library (SEQQSAMP).
