Delete concurrent program from backend

If you create an Executable without creating a concurrent program, the system will allow to delete the Executable. But once you create the Concurrent Program for that Executable, the system never allows you to delete the program -- it only gives the option to disable the Concurrent Program.

At that point, your only option is to delete the Concurrent Program and its Executable from the back-end. Following is a simple straight-forward query that you can use for deleting a Concurrent Program. This query first checks if the concurrent program and its executable exist in the system. If found, it will delete the program; if not found, it will just display a message.

In this example, 'XX_TEST' is my Concurrent Program's Short Name and 'XX' is the Application Short Name. You will have to use appropriate program name and application short name according to your need.
