An array of elements in the BUFFER or BUFLIST storage areas contains the information about the list entries to be deleted. Each array element identifies the entry to be moved and may also designate version number comparison information for a structure allocated in a coupling facility of CFLEVEL=9 or higher. The array elements are mapped by the IXLYDELI macro and are indexed with the first element starting at offset zero in the BUFFER or BUFLIST area. Identify the index of the first element to be processed with FIRSTELEM and the index of the last element with LASTELEM.

The mappings for DELI1 and DELI2 may also be used with the appropriate IXLLIST REQUEST=DELETE_ENTRYLIST request type. The DELI3 mapping applies only to IXLLSTM REQUEST=DELETE_ENTRYLIST.
