VMS Help PRINT, Qualifiers, /DELETE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /DELETE
       /NODELETE (default)

    Positional qualifier.

    Controls whether files are deleted after printing. If you place
    the /DELETE qualifier after the PRINT command name, all specified
    files are deleted. If you specify the /DELETE qualifier after
    a file specification, only that file is deleted after it is
    printed.

    The protection applied to the file must allow delete (D) access
    for the life of the job. You need to have delete access when you
    submit the job and delete access when the system deletes your
    file at the end of the job.
