Required Parameters

DEVD

Specifies the name of the device descriptions being deleted. A specific device description or a generic device description can be specified.

device-description-name: Specify the name of the device description being deleted.

generic*-device-description-name: Specify the generic name of the device description being deleted. A generic name is a character string of one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*); for example, ABC*. The asterisk substitutes for any valid characters. A generic name specifies all objects with names that begin with the generic prefix for which the user has authority. If an asterisk is not included with the generic (prefix) name, the system assumes it to be the complete object name. For more information on the use of generic names, refer to generic names.
