Delete elements like channel , control-unit , unit in IODF with HCD batch

With PGM=CBDMGHCP,PARM='MIGR,........' we can add or update elements but not to delete elements.

It would be fine to be able to delete elements in batch before to do MIGRATE in batch.

We have messages :

CBDA563I SPACE EXHAUSTED IN WORK IODF NSYSTKG.IODF01.WORK

CBDA533I TYPE SPECIFICATION FOR CONTROL UNIT 0F00 CONFLICTS WITH SPECIFICATION

CBDG613I MAXIMUM NUMBER 4 OF CL5 CHANNEL PATHS THAT CAN BE DEFINED TO THE .......

CBDA157I TOO MANY PARTITIONS DEFINED FOR PROCESSOR

CBDA424I PARTITION NUMBER 01 ALREADY DEFINED
CBDA424I PARTITION NUMBER 02 ALREADY DEFINED

and to prevent these messages we need to delete elements before migrate.

    Hello Didier,

    thank you for improving HCD.

    Can you please describe one or two scenarios where this feature would help you.
    This is not meant to debate the usefulness of your proposal,
    but it may help if we can discuss specific customer use case.

    Kind regards,
    Your HCD Team
