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

    (1) CMS> DELETE CLASS PRE_RELEASE "no longer necessary"
        %CMS-S-DELETED, class DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]PRE_RELEASE deleted

      This command deletes the class named PRE_RELEASE.

    (2) CMS> REMOVE GENERATION *.* BETA*
        _Remark: beta sites converted to released product
        %CMS-I-GENREMOVED, generation 3 of element
        DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]INI.FOR removed from class
        DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]BETAFEB
        %CMS-I-GENREMOVED, generation 4 of element
        DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]SRC.FOR removed from class
        DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]BETAFEB
        %CMS-I-GENREMOVED, generation 3 of element
        DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]INI.FOR removed from class
        DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]BETAJAN
        %CMS-I-GENREMOVED, generation 2 of element
        DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]SRC.FOR removed from class
        DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]BETAJAN
        %CMS-S-REMOVALS, 4 removals completed

        CMS> DELETE CLASS BETA* "beta sites converted to released product"
        %CMS-I-DELETED, class DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]BETAFEB deleted
        %CMS-I-DELETED, class DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]BETAJAN deleted
        %CMS-S-DELETIONS, 2 classes deleted

      This example removes all element generations from all classes
      whose names begin with the string BETA, then deletes all of
      the empty classes. CMS does not prompt for confirmation during
      deletion unless you specify the /CONFIRM qualifier.
