Library /sys$common/syshlp/patchhelp.hlb DELETE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 Use DELETE to delete an instruction or data from one location  or
 from  several  consecutive locations in terms of the current mode
 settings.

 When you use the  DELETE  command  to  delete  instructions,  the
 instructions  are  replaced  with NOP instructions.  When you use
 the DELETE command to delete ASCII and numeric data, the data  is
 replaced with zeros.

 Format:

      DELETE location = current-contents [,...]
