What you are faililng to tell some of these people ( that apparently don’t have alot of 400 experience) is when doing a WRKOBJ to try to find it, you need to make sure you have access to ALL the libraries, a user with *ALLOBJ authority. Or it might be there somewhere but you still might not see it.

DLTOBJ is also a v7.1 command from IBM. Here’s a portion of the DSPCMD DLTOBJ display:

It’s definitely a handy command — when and where available.

DLTOBJ is an old TAA tool command from the days when IBM shipped the tool with pre V3R1 OS. Since then Jim Sloan has been marketing TAATOOL as a collection of tools for a fee. If you can do a DSPOBJD DLTOBJ *CMD and if you see it you can see what library it is in and I am willing to bet that it is in a custom utility library on your system. If not then check Tom’s answer to see if you are authorized to the command. You may not even have it on that system at all if you have worked with the command somewhere in the past on another machine.
