2/05/09 How to quickly delete multiple unsaved journal receivers

If you need to delete several journal receivers that have not been saved there are several ways to go about it.

If you use OPTION 4 from PDM or WRKOBJ screens you will receive an *INQUIRY message for each unsaved receiver telling you that is has not been saved and asking you to Ignore or Cancel. Deleting the receiver from within the WRKJRNA display will give you the same messages.

There is a quicker way.

From the command line enter
DLTJRNRCV JRNRCV(receiverlib/receivername) DLTOPT(*IGNINQMSG)

The DLTOPT(*IGNINQMSG) parameter will suppress the messages.

Note: You can enter a generic for the receiver name.
