Utility CTDDELRP

Control‑D utility CTDDELRP scans the Active User Report List file for reports whose Active User Entry has expired. For reports meeting the specified selection criteria, utility CTDDELRP does the following:

• Flags reports, for which a backup or migration has been requested but not performed, as WAITING FOR BACKUP (or WAITING FOR MIGRATION).
• Moves the entry of each report, for which both backup and migration have been performed, from the Active User Report List file to both the History and Migrated User Report list files.

  The entry of each report for which only migration has been performed is moved from the Active User Report List file to the Migrated User Report List file.

  The entry of each report for which only backup has been performed is moved from the Active to the History User Report List file.

• Erases a report entry that is not requested to be backed up or migrated from the Active User Report List file.
• Erases the compressed dataset containing a report, for which the Active User Report List file has no entries, from DASD storage (if it does not contain data of other reports not yet erased).

Run this utility at least once a day, preferably after all backups have finished executing. For more information about the CTDDELRP utility, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.

There is no harm in running the CTDDELRP utility more than once a day (for example, after a computer crash). You can run this utility before or after the New Day procedure.
