      [DROPPRED(INTERNAL|EXTERNAL|ALL|<pred>)] 
      [DROPSUCC(INTERNAL|EXTERNAL|ALL|<succ>)]
      [DROPUSRF(<ufname>)]

USERDATA(operation user field)

UFNAME

Optional keyword that specifies the name of a user field to be updated for the selected job. If UFNAME is specified and UFVALUE is not, the field is set to blanks.

UFVALUE

Optional keyword that specifies the value to set the user field named by UFNAME for the selected job. If UFVALUE is specified, UFNAME must also be specified.

DROPPRED and DROPSUCC

Optional keywords that can cause the operationʼs predecessor or successor links to be deleted. The valid values are:

INTERNAL: Release only internal successors.
EXTERNAL: Release only external successors.
ALL: Release all internal and external successors.
The definition of an individual dependency: In the form [admask][/opno|jobmask][/iatime]. For example, ABC*/255/!OYMD1.* would match operation 255 in any dependencies within applications beginning with ABC with an input arrival date matching the operation being modified. Or */XYZ* would match any dependency to a job beginning with XYZ, regardless of the application or input arrival.

DROPSR

Optional keyword to drop a special resource, or resources. The value can be an absolute name, or use wildcards. MATCHTYP cannot be used with this command, therefore do not use special resources whose names contain wildcards.

DROPUSRF

Optional keyword to drop user fields from an operation. You can specify wildcards. DROPUSRF(*) drops all the user fields from an operation.
