Removing DBDs and PSBs from IMS by using DDL
If the IMS system you are connected to supports DDL, you can remove databases (DBDs) or program views (PSBs) from an IMS system by using IMS™ Explorer to generate and run DDL DROP statements for the selected resources.
Before you begin
IMS Explorer for Development must be connected to an IMS database. See Connecting to an IMS database
The IMS system you are connecting to must support DDL. DDL is supported by IMS 14 and later systems that are configured to manage the application control blocks (ACBs) for databases and program views in the IMS catalog. For more information about enabling IMS support for DDL and the IMS management of ACBs, see IMS management of ACBs.

Results
When you run the DDL script, statements are submitted to IMS and results are shown in the SQL Results view.
After IMS receives the DDL, IMS drops the database resources automatically without requiring additional steps in IMS.
