Class
Disk and File Utilities
Purpose
Delete a file or files
Syntax
ERASE <filename> | (<expC>) | <file list>
See Also
ALIAS, DELETE, RUN, SET PATH, SET SAFETY
Description
The ERASE command deletes the specified file or comma-separated file list. If no directory specification is present in the filename, then the file is deleted from the current directory. The filename can be substituted with a <expC>, enclosed in round brackets, which returns a valid filename. When deleting a file, ERASE does not follow the directory search path specified with the SET PATH command. On OpenVMS, all versions of the file will be deleted.
Example
if file("backup.old") erase backup.old endif
