The TEMPLATE Procedure

DELETE Statement


Deletes the specified definitions.

DELETE definition-path;


Required Arguments

definition-path
specifies a definition to delete. A definition-path consists of one or more names, separated by periods. Each name represents a directory in a template store. (A template store is a type of SAS file.) If the same definition exists in multiple template stores, PROC TEMPLATE deletes the definition from the first template store in the current path that the user can write to.
CAUTION:
Deleting a Directory in a Template Store If the path that you specify is a directory rather than a definition, PROC TEMPLATE deletes all the definitions in that directory.  [cautionend]
