Parameter


filespec[,...]

   Specifies the names of one or more files to be deleted from a
   mass storage disk volume. The first file specification must
   contain an explicit or default directory specification plus an
   explicit file name, file type, and version number. Subsequent
   file specifications need contain only a version number; the
   defaults will come from the preceding specification. The asterisk
   (*)  and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters can be used in
   any of the file specification fields.

   If you omit the directory specification or device name, the
   current default device and directory are assumed.

   If the file specification contains a null version number (a
   semicolon (;)  followed by no file version number), a version
   number of 0, or one or more spaces in the version number, the
   latest version of the file is deleted.

   If an input-file specification parameter is a symbolic link, the
   symbolic link itself is deleted.

   To delete more than one file, separate the file specifications
   with either commas (,)  or plus signs (+).
