Deleting Global Resource Identification Numbers (RIN)
A resource identification number (RIN) identifies a user-defined resource. A RIN allows a user to exclusively
access resources including I/O devices, disk files, and programs.
The DRIN command (abbreviated DR) removes allocated global resource identification numbers. DRIN has the
following parameter:
DRIN (DR) [GLOBAL =] global-rin number
To delete a global RIN or a range of global RINs, enter DRIN and the RIN at the MISC configurator prompt:
misc>DRIN 4 ** Deletes single RIN **
misc>DRIN (1,2,3,4,15,84) ** Deletes group of RINs **
The changes made using the DRIN command take effect only if a tape containing the changes is generated and
the newly created tape is used to update the configuration or install the system.
