DELETEPARAM Routine
DELETEPARAM Routine
The DELETEPARAM routine deletes specific parts of or an entire PARAM message.
result
is an integer variable in which DELETEPARAM returns the result of the operation.
See Considerations.
portion
is a character expression that identifies the particular part of the message to
delete. The string value must be a legal parameter name defined for the PARAM
message. The first unused character position, if any, in portion must be a blank.
Any characters including and following a blank are ignored.
'*ALL*'
specifies that FORTRAN delete the entire PARAM message.
cplist
is a checkpoint list in which DELETEPARAM records the changes to the message
storage data space. DELETEPARAM uses a maximum of three elements in
cplist. For additional detail, see the Checkpoint Considerations for Saved
Message Utility Routines on page 15-28.

Values returned by DELETEPARAM
result = DELETEPARAM
Return Value Meaning
0 The specified PARAM message or message portion is deleted.
-1 A failure occurred due to a logic error. The message is not deleted.
Possible logic errors are:
•
The portion value is not correct.
•
The contents of the checkpoint list parameter are inconsistent.
-2 Insufficient checkpoint list space is available to complete the deletion.
The message is unchanged.
