input the CEPI returned by the FTM_INITIALIZE_REQ_ procedure for this 
association. 
a. If the association is in nowait mode, call MFM_AWAITIOX_ to wait for 
completion of the APS_EVENT_RECEIVE_ call and to obtain the status code. 
A status code of ZAPS-VAL-STATUS-EVENT means you received an event.
3. If you received an event, call APS_STATUS_ to determine which event. If the event 
code is ZFTM-VAL-EVT-DESELECT-CNF, you received a deselect confirm.
4. Next, call FTM_DESELECT_CNF_ to retrieve the data sent by the confirm. Check 
the action-result output parameter.
If the action-result value is ZFTM-VAL-ACTION-SUCCESS, the file has been 
deselected.
Deleting Files
Table 4-15 shows the sequence of procedures to call and describes the steps to delete 
an FTAM file. Sometimes you can omit a procedure call associated with a substep, 
depending on the context. The sequence of procedures is explained after the table.
These steps explain the sequence of procedure calls given in Table 4-15.
1. To delete the currently selected file, call FTM_DELETE_REQ_. 
Before issuing the procedure call, check the values assigned to the 
requested-access (ZFTM-DDL-REQUESTED-ACCESS) and 
access-passwords (ZFTM-DDL-ACCESS-PASSWDS) parameters on the 
FTM_SELECT_REQ_ procedure call. The ZDELETE field of the 
Table 4-15. Calls for Deleting an FTAM File
Step Action to Take Procedure(s) to Call
1 Delete the currently selected file. FTM_DELETE_REQ_
a. If error returned by FTM_DELETE_REQ_, check 
status.
APS_STATUS_
b. If nowait mode, await completion of 
FTM_DELETE_REQ_.
MFM_AWAITIOX_
c. If error returned by MFM_AWAITIOX_, check 
status.
APS_STATUS_
2 Get the next event. APS_EVENT_RECEIVE_
a. If nowait mode, await completion of 
APS_EVENT_RECEIVE_.
MFM_AWAITIOX_
3 Check status: Is the event a delete confirm? Or, if 
APS_EVENT_RECEIVE_ returns a status other than 
ZAPS-VAL-STATUS-EVENT, is there an error?
APS_STATUS_
4 Retrieve service confirm information. FTM_DELETE_CNF_
