Command List VIII
Commands PASCAL thru PURGEUSER
DIRECTORY dir_name TO BE PURGED? (YES/NO)_
Valid responses are YES, Y, NO, and N (case insensitive). If a TREE purge is requested, the
prompt is:
PURGE ALL FILES BELOW AND INCLUDING dir_name ? (ALL/NO)_
Valid responses are ALL, NO, and N (case insensitive).
NOTE If dir_name is long, the prompt may wrap around. If dir_name is an MPE
name, it is fully qualified in the prompt message. If the YES option is selected,
then the purge is automatically confirmed without a prompt.
The SHOW option displays the name of each purged file and directory on $STDLIST. For
example:
PURGEDIR ./mydir ;TREE ;SHOW
./mydir/abc
./mydir/dir1/dir2/file1
./mydir/dir1/dir2/file2
./mydir/dir1/dir2
./mydir/dir1/f1
./mydir/dir1/f2
./mydir/dir1
./mydir/file1
./mydir
The SHOWERRORS option displays any error that prevents an object from being deleted on
$STDLIST after the object name is displayed. Object names are only displayed if an error
occurs.
