ERASE
ERASE
stack buffers 6, 5, and
4.
If
you issued DROPBUF without
specifying n, only program stack buffer 6 would be
eliminated.
Use the ERASE command to delete one or more CMS files
from a read/write disk. The format of the
ERASE command
is:
Hnt

ESTATEjESTATEW
Use the EST ATE command to verify the existence of a CMS
file
on
any accessed disk; use the ESTATEW command to
verify the existence of a
CMS file on any accessed
read/
write disk. In most instances, the commands EST ATE
and
ESTATEW are equivalent to STATE and STATEW.
However, if the
file
being verified has more than 65535
items or more than 65535 data blocks, then the
ESTATE/ESTATEW commands should be used. Use of the
STATE/STATEW commands will result in error message
DMSSTT253E FILE 'fn ft fm' CAN NOT
BE
HANDLED
WITH
SUPPLIED PLIST. The use of ESTATE/ESTATEW
will not produce this message, and
is
therefore preferred if
the existence of such a file may be verified. The formats of
the
ESTATE and ESTATEW commands are:
II
ESTATE
I
1
ESTATEW
~
Where:
fn
is
the filename of the file whose existence
is
to be
verified.
If
fn
is
specified as *, the first file found
satisfying the rest of the fileid
is
used.
