EXTDEST
Type: Verb
Use: Deletes any extension file associated with an image. The
INNAME and INEXT adverbs must be specified. EXTDEST may
be used to destroy an unexpected "extension" file such as
one created by a task that ABORTed before updating the
catalog. Simply set INVERS to one higher than the
highest in the header (use IMHEADER or QHEADER to check).
Adverbs:
INNAME......Image name(name). Standard defaults except
that blank is not allowed.
INCLASS.....Image name(class). Standard defaults.
INSEQ.......Image name(seq. #). 0 => highest.
INDISK......Disk drive # of image. 0 => any.
INEXT.......Extension file type. No defaults.
INVERS......Extension file version. -1 => all of type INEXT
0 => highest.
DOCONFRM....>= -1.5 => the routine will ask permission to delete any
CL or HI extension file version 1. This is only allowed
in interactive input states.
= -2 => do not ask for permission to do these files.
This is allowed in RUN and batch as well as interactive.
