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.
