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

    Deletes the definition of a queue characteristic previously
    established with the DEFINE/CHARACTERISTIC command. The
    /CHARACTERISTIC qualifier is required.

    Requires OPER (operator) privilege.

    Format

      DELETE/CHARACTERISTIC  characteristic-name

1 - Parameter

 characteristic-name

    Specifies the name of the characteristic to be deleted.

2 - Qualifier

 2.1 - /LOG

       /LOG
       /NOLOG (default)

    Controls whether the DELETE/CHARACTERISTIC command displays the
    name of each characteristic after its deletion.

3 - Example

  $ DEFINE/CHARACTERISTIC BLUE 7
     .
     .
     .
  $ DELETE/CHARACTERISTIC BLUE
  $ DEFINE/CHARACTERISTIC BLUE_INK 7

      The DEFINE/CHARACTERISTIC command in this example establishes
      the characteristic BLUE, with number 7, to mean blue ink
      ribbons for printers. To change the name of the characteristic,
      enter the DELETE/CHARACTERISTIC command. Then enter another
      DEFINE/CHARACTERISTIC command to rename the characteristic to
      BLUE_INK, using the characteristic number 7.
