  ****************************************************************
  If a pipeline is disabled and then discarded before recycling
  CICS with an auto start, the pipeline is reinstalled by CICS at
  start time. This is because the discard is not reflected in the
  catalog as there is no call to delete the entry on discard. This
  results in the pipeline being installed disabled as that is the
  status at the last catalog update for the pipeline.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHPIPL has been changed to delete the pipeline from the catalog
  on a successful discard.
