RFE for DS QLIB distlib DELETE

When moving an IBM tape cluster from one tape grid to another in the same plex, have found that with a one IODF Activate that a cluster will be defined to two composite (2 grids). By expanding the current DS QLIB,composite,DELETE to expand to using DS QLIB,distlib,DELETE - will be able to delete the correct distributed library from the obsolete composite - otherwise, we need to use two IODF activates.

    IBM agrees that enabling the DS QLIB DELETE command at the distributed (cluster) level would make it easier for clients to make TS7700 configuration changes. Today the DS QLIB DELETE command operates at the TS7700 grid level and deletes all of the associated libraries for that composite library.
