sp_deletesmobj "syb_tsm", "svr1"

sp_deletesmobj "syb_tsm", "svr1", "testdb", "obj1.dmp",
    "*", "may 20, 2009 10:51:43:866am"

Is the verbage for example 3 correct?

Removes all backup objects of the “testdb” database created by “svr1” of dump database type before May 21, 2009, 10:51:43:866 a.m.

sp_deletesmobj "syb_tsm", "svr1", "’testdb", "*", "DB",
    "may 21, 2009 10:51:43:866am"

Removes all backup objects of “testdb” created by “svr1” of dump transaction type before May 20, 2009, 10:51:43:866 a.m.

sp_deletesmobj "syb_tsm", "svr1", "testdb",
    "/tmp/obj1.dmp", "*", "XACT", "may 21, 2009
    10:51:43:866am"
