Use DirDeallocate to deallocate a directory.
DirDeallocate may also be entered as DirDeal[locate], DeallocateDir, DealDir, or Deal[locate].
DirDeallocate is supported for PDS directories only. It is not supported (or needed) for BIM, workstation, or VSE directories.
Optional Operands
DIR is the PDS directory to be deallocated. If specified as "ALL", deallocates all directories which are available from your user ID. (if the user has OPER or ADM command security, all directories allocated will be deallocated.)
Default: Current PDS directory.
DirDeallocate is used to make a directory available for a process (such as compress) which requires exclusive access. PDS directories are allocated to a host BIM-EDIT system when they are first referenced and remain allocated until explicitly deallocated or the host BIM-EDIT system is shut down.
Return Codes
NF Directory not found.
OK Successful.
SC Access denied.
