Procedure

If a calendar item begins during the date range but does not end until after the date range, that calendar item is not deleted.

If a meeting has not taken place, the meeting is not deleted.

When a range of cabinets is entered, cabinet SYSCNT is ignored. Calendar items are deleted from cabinet SYSCNT only when it is specifically specified.

Invitations cannot be deleted.

If an agenda is attached to a calendar item, it is also deleted.

If a note has been attached to a calendar item, it is also deleted.

A report is produced giving the total number of records deleted.

Items deleted are physically deleted from the file (i.e. they are not placed in the Wastebasket).

Batch Example

Delete all calendar items from January 1, 1986 to February 14, 1994 (as February 14, 1994 is the current date) for all cabinets. This would be coded as follows:
