CLRLIB2         CLEAR LIBRARY 2                        TAALICU

The Clear  Library 2  command is  like the system  CLRLIB command,  but
also  clears objects that  can cause CLRLIB  to fail such  as dependent
logical   files  in  a  different  library,  constraints  specified  by
ADDPFCST, receivers that  have not been  saved, and output queues  with
entries.  Some exceptions exist that may prevent a cleared library.

You must have *ALLOBJ authority to use CLRLIB2.

The  intent of  CLRLIB2 is  that it  should be  used when  you  want to
force a library to be clear.

A typical command would be:

             CLRLIB2   LIB(ABC)

The ABC library would be cleared.

Libraries can be protected using the PROLIB tool.

Exceptions
----------

Objects which are allocated will prevent a clear.

The  DLTJRNRCV  command  specifies  DLTOPT(*IGNINQMSG),  but  does  not
request DLTOPT(*IGNEXITPGM) nor DLTOPT(*IGNTGTRCV).

Damaged objects may prevent a clear.

The command may  not be used on  a library owned  by a system  provided
user profile other than QPGMR.

Sequence of processing
----------------------

  **   An outfile  of all objects in  the library is created  in QTEMP.

  **   The file is read by a sub program which:

         --   Deletes any LFs read

         --   Deletes  any dependent LFs  for physical  files (they may
              be in a different library).

         --   Ends journaling for objects if a *JRN object is read

  **   Uses a sub program to delete *JRN objects

  **   The main program:

         --   Deletes any *JRNRCV objects with DLTOPT(*IGNINQMSG)

         --   Clears any spooled files in *OUTQ objects

         --   Clears any jobs in *JOBQ objects

         --   Deletes any remaining objects

If the library cannot be cleared  (an object may be locked), a  listing
is output of the errors and an escape message is issued.

CLRLIB2 escape messages you can monitor for
-------------------------------------------

      TAA9896    The library could not be cleared.

Escape messages from based on functions will be re-sent.

CLRLIB2 Command parameters                            *CMD
--------------------------

   LIB           The library to be cleared.

   CMD           The  command  being  run.   The  default  is  CLRLIB2.
                 This  is  intended  as  an  internal use  function  to
                 allow the sharing of code with DLTLIB2.


Restrictions
------------

You must have *ALLOBJ authority to use CLRLIB2.

Prerequisites
-------------

The following TAA Tools must be on your system:

     CHKALLOBJ       Check *ALLOBJ special authority
     CHKJOBCTL       Check *JOBCTL special authority
     CHKOBJ3         Check object 3
     DLTDEPLGL       Delete dependent logical
     DLTOBJ2         Delete object 2
     SNDCOMPMSG      Send completion message
     SNDESCINF       Send escape information
     SNDSTSMSG       Send status message

Implementation
--------------

None, the tool is ready to use.
