TIP:
In mainframe systems, you cannot delete all pairs that are in an existing copy group. This restriction
prevents deletion of copy groups with distribution relationships. For details of conditions that disrupt
copy group linkage, see “
Conditions that disrupt copy group distribution relationships ” on page 172.
