| KILL Statement Details |
|
| Syntax |
| KILL filespec |
| |
| The KILL statement is similar to the DOS ERASE or DEL commands. |
| |
| KILL is used for all types of disk files: program files, random |
| data files, and sequential data files. The filespec may contain |
| question marks (?) or asterisks (*) used as wild cards. A question |
| mark matches any single character in the file name or extension. An |
| asterisk matches one or more characters starting at its position. |
| |
| You can use KILL only to delete files. To delete directories, |
| use the RMDIR command. Using KILL to delete a file that is currently |
| open produces an error message that reads "File already open." |
| |
| ----- Warning ----- |
| Be extremely careful when using wild cards with KILL. You can delete |
| files unintentionally with the wild card characters. |
