DELETE
The following command deletes all SAV files on DU1 that were created on or
after March 20, 1991:
.DELETE/LOG/SINCE:20:MAR:91 DU1:*.SAV
Files deleted:
DU1:A.SAV
DU1:B.SAV
DU1:C.SAV
/SYSTEM
Allows you to delete system (SYS) files and use wildcards in an input file type.
If you omit this option while using a wildcard for a file type, system files are
excluded from the DELETE operation, and the following message is displayed
on the terminal:
?PIP-W-No .SYS action
If you specify SYS as an input file type, you do not need to specify the /SYSTEM
option.
/WAIT
Initiates the DELETE operation but then pauses for you to mount the volume
that contains the files you want to delete. This option is useful if you have
a single-disk system or if you want to use only one drive unit of a dual-drive
system.
When RT–11 pauses, it displays Mount input volume in <device>; Continue?,
where <device> specifies the device into which you mount the volume. Mount
the volume and type Y
RETURN
. Type N
RETURN
or press
CTRL/C
to abort the
operation and return control to the monitor.
When the operation completes, RT–11 displays the Continue? message again.
Mount the system volume and type Y
RETURN
. RT–11 then displays the monitor
prompt.
The following example deletes FILE.MAC from an RL02 disk:
.DELETE/WAIT DL0:FILE.MAC
Mount input volume in DL0:; Continue? Y
Dl0:FILE.MAC? Y
Mount system volume in Dl0:; Continue? Y
