VMS Help DELETE, file, Parameter *Conan The Librarian |
filespec[,...]
Specifies the names of one or more files to be deleted from a
mass storage disk volume. The first file specification must
contain an explicit or default directory specification plus an
explicit file name, file type, and version number. Subsequent
file specifications need contain only a version number; the
defaults will come from the preceding specification. The asterisk
(*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters can be used in
any of the file specification fields.
If you omit the directory specification or device name, the
current default device and directory are assumed.
If the file specification contains a null version number (a
semicolon (;) followed by no file version number), a version
number of 0, or one or more spaces in the version number, the
latest version of the file is deleted.
If an input-file specification parameter is a symbolic link, the
symbolic link itself is deleted.
To delete more than one file, separate the file specifications
with either commas (,) or plus signs (+).
