Deletes one or more MPE/iX variables. (NM)
DELETEVAR varname [,varname]...[,varname]
This command follows the optional MPE/iX command line syntax.
VARNAME The name of the variable to be deleted.
Deletes a specific MPE/iX variable, or all variables specified by a pattern. If you specify more than one varname, you must separate them with commas. You cannot delete predefined (system, read only) variables. You may use wildcard characters, @, #, ?, and [] to specify a set or range of values. @ Specifies zero or more alphanumeric characters, or the underbar character (_). Used by itself, it specifies all possible combinations of such characters. Used with other characters it indicates all the possible names that include the specified characters (@ABC@ = all names that include ABC anywhere in the name). # Specifies one numeric character. A###@ = all names that begin with A followed by any three digits, followed by any combination of 0 to 251 alphanumeric (or underbar) characters. ? Specifies one alphanumeric character. A?# specifies all three-character names that begin with A, followed by an alphanumeric, followed by a digit. [] Specifies a set or range of characters. The set may appear anywhere in the name. This range specification is not case sensitive [A-K] is the same as [a-k]. If you specify a null set such as [k- a] then MPE/iX will report an error. @[abc]@# = All names containing A, B, or C and ending in a single digit. [a-k]@ = All names that begin with any one of the letters a through k. [n-a] = Is not valid and would be flagged as an error. This command is available in a session, job, in BREAK, or from a program. Pressing [Break] has no effect on this command.
DELETEVAR firstvariable, secondvariable Deletes two specific variables. DELETEVAR ?axval Deletes all variables beginning with a single alphabetic character and ending with the characters axval. DELETEVAR @ Deletes all variables created by the user. Refer to the SETVAR command. DELETEVAR [P-T]@module Deletes a range of variables that begin with the letters P, Q, R, S, or T followed by zero or more characters that also end with the string module. Thus variables such as PMODULE, QMODULE, RMODULE, SMODULE, TMODULE and TIME_MODULE are all deleted by a single command. DELETEVAR T@## Deletes all variables beginning in T and ending in two digits: TMP11, T25, TMP_237 but not T2.
