1  DEINSTALL
   Deinstalls a page or swap file. Requires CMKRNL privilege.
   Any file installed with the SYSGEN command INSTALL can be
   deinstalled.

   If the specified file is being actively used by processes, this
   command simply marks the file as "deinstall pending". This
   prevents any new assignments or reservations to the file from
   occurring. When all outstanding references to the file have been
   removed, the deinstallation will complete.

   Files in the deinstall pending state are identified in the DCL
   command SHOW MEMORY/FILES display.
