Hello Dave,

The last time I had to do this I just called the DLTF CPP.  The command 
enforces the name 
restrictions, the CPP doesn't care.  It just tries to destroy whatever you pass 
it.  The 
parameters were pretty straight-forward.  I don't remember them and I don't 
have a 400 
currently accessible so I can't check.  I think the first parm is a 20-byte 
structure with 
object in the first 10 and library in the next 10. The second is the object 
type perhaps 
without the asterisk.

As I recall, the same CPP is used for most of DLTxxx commands. QLI?????

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
