CL Command Reference - DLTIGCTBL
CL Command List > DLTIGCTBL Reference
Description:
The Delete DBCS Font Table (DLTIGCTBL) command deletes the specified double-byte character set (DBCS) font table from the system. DBCS font tables contain the images of double-byte extension characters used on your system and are used for displaying and printing these characters in various matrix sizes, depending on the matrix used by the device. You might consider deleting a table that displays and prints characters in a dot matrix pattern not used by your system. Deleting the table saves system storage. Before deleting a table, you also might consider copying it to tape or diskette for future use. To copy a table to tape or diskette, see the Copy DBCS Font Table (CPYIGCTBL) command.
Additional Considerations:
Do not delete a DBCS font table if any device attached to the system and currently varied on uses that table. If you delete the table, the system sends you a message identifying the following:
. Devices using the deleted tables
. Devices attached to the same controllers such as devices using the table being deleted
. Controllers that will be damaged the next time you try to print or display extension characters on those devices.
If such a problem occurs, do the following:
1. Vary off the affected devices (VRYCFG command).
2. Vary off the affected control unit.
3. Vary on the affected control unit.
4. Vary on the affected devices.
5. Continue normal system work.
Examples:
