Parameters

key-name

Key name previously stored in the key storage table with the ENCRYPT /CREATE_KEY command.

/JOB

Deletes the key definition from the job key storage table.

/PROCESS

Deletes the key definition from the process key storage table.

/SYSTEM

Deletes the key definition from the system key storage table.
