Examples

   (1) CMS> DELETE GENERATION/NOCONFIRM SAMPLE.PAS/GENERATION=5B1
       _Remark: Delete variant line
       %CMS-S-GENDELETED, 1 generation of element 
       DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]SAMPLE.PAS deleted

     This command deletes generation 5B1 of the element SAMPLE.PAS.
     The /NOCONFIRM qualifier directs CMS to suppress the prompt
     confirming the operation.

   (2) CMS> DELETE GENERATION SAMPLE.*/AFTER=V1/BEFORE=V2
       _Remark: delete generations between released versions
       Delete 5 generations after V1(1) before V2(7) of element SAMPLE.PAS?
       [Y/N] (N): Y
       %CMS-S-GENDELETED, 5 generations of element 
       DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]SAMPLE.PAS deleted

     This command deletes all generations of the element after the
     generation in class V1 and before the generation in class V2,
     excluding the two generations in classes V1 and V2.

   (3) CMS> DELETE GENERATION SAMPLE.PAS/AFTER=1/BEFORE=V1
       _Remark: delete a range
       %CMS-E-NOGENDELETED, no generations of 
       DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]SAMPLE.PAS deleted
       -CMS-E-VARINRANGE, range has variants

       CMS> DELETE GENERATION/ARCHIVE/FROM=2A1/TO=2A1+/NOCONFIRM SAMPLE.PAS
       _Remark: delete the variant range and archive the deleted generations
       %CMS-S-GENDELETED, 3 generations of element 
       DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]SAMPLE.PAS deleted

     The first command specifies that all generations be deleted
     between generation 1 and the generation in class V1. CMS could
     not delete the generations, however, because it found variants
     for the indicated generations.

     The second command specifies a range of generations to be
     deleted from and including the variant generation 2A1 to
     and including the latest variant generation of the element
     SAMPLE.PAS. In this case, CMS deleted 3 generations of the
     element. The /ARCHIVE qualifier directs CMS to save the deleted
     generations in an archive file in your default directory.

     To display the descendants of a generation and the
     classes containing the generations, use the SHOW
     GENERATION/DESCENDANTS/MEMBER command.
