The Remove Generation... menu item removes one or more element generations from one or more classes. Remove Generation does not delete the generation from the library, but removes the association between the generation and the class. To remove one element generation from a class and replace it with another generation of the same element, use the Insert Generation... menu item with the Supersede if Present button.
1 – Rmsf
If you click on an object or objects before choosing the Remove Generation... menu item, the Selected box contains those objects. CMS performs the remove transaction on the selected objects.
2 – Rmig
Fill in the Element field with the name of one or more objects whose generations are to be removed from the class. The object can be an element name, a group name, a wildcard expression, or a list of these separated by commas.
3 – Rmgf
Fill in the Generation field with the generation number to be removed from the class. The generation must exist in the class. If you use a wildcard or a list of class names, CMS deletes the particular generation from each specified class.
4 – Rmf
Fill in the Class field with the name of the class expression from which the element generation is to be removed. The class expression can be a class name, a wildcard expression, or a list of these separated by commas.
5 – Rmr
Fill in the Remark field with text to be associated with the transaction and logged in the history file with this remove transaction.
6 – Rmif
Click on the Remove if Present button to direct CMS to remove any generation of the element that exists in the class. If the class does not contain a generation from the element, CMS takes no action and does not return an error.
