Deleting an alias

Deleting an alias deletes only the alias name from the catalog. It does not delete the referenced data set.

Procedure

  1. Select the data set alias you want to delete and click Delete. A Delete Confirmation window opens.
  2. To confirm the delete action, click Delete. A message window opens indicating that the referenced data set is not deleted.
  3. Click OK to close the message window. You can suppress the message window by clicking Don't show this again.

Results
