DELETE
The following command deletes all SAV files on DU1 that were created before
March 20, 1991:
.DELETE/LOG/BEFORE:20:MAR:91 DU1:*.SAV
Files deleted:
DY0:A.SAV
DY0:B.SAV
DY0:C.SAV
/DATE[:date]
Deletes only those files with a certain creation date. If no date is specified the
current system date is used. The following command deletes all MAC files on
DK that were created on February 20, 1991:
.DELETE/LOG/DATE:20:FEB:91 DK:*.MAC
Files deleted:
DK:A.MAC
DK:B.MAC
DK:C.MAC
/DOS
Deletes a file that is in DOS–11 or RSTS/E format. The valid devices for this
type of file are disks or DECtapes. You cannot use any option except /WAIT in
combination with /DOS.
/ENTRY
Deletes a job from the queue. Use /ENTRY when QUEUE is running as a
foreground or system job (see the chapter on the Queue Package in the RT–11
System Utilities Manual).
When you use /ENTRY, you do not have to specify the input files in the job, only
the job name. If you have not specified a job name, RT–11 uses the first file
name in the job as the job name. The following example deletes MILLER from
the queue:
.DELETE/ENTRY MILLER
If QUEUE is printing a job when you delete that job, QUEUE immediately stops
processing that job. However, this command does not purge a print buffer. So,
because of the use of buffering, the printing may continue for a while after
QUEUE has stopped the job.
/EXCLUDE
Deletes all the files on a device except the ones you specify. The following
command, for example, deletes all files from DU1 except SAV files:
.DELETE/EXCLUDE DU1:*.SAV
?PIP-W-No .SYS action
Files deleted:
DU1:ABC.OLD ? Y
DU1:AAF.OLD ? Y
DU1:COMB. ? Y
DU1:MERGE.OLD ? Y
