Code Explanation
Much of this code is similar to that explained in "Sample Code for File Move ".
Only explanations unique to this example are given here.
FILE/DELETE,C1.INPUT
This line deletes the file specified. This command takes one parameter,
the name of the file to delete. In this case, C1.INPUT.
Command Mode Commands after Comments
After you insert a PC-DMIS comment, to type additional PC-DMIS commands in Command mode, you must first press Enter twice after the COMMENT command. This tells PC-DMIS that you no longer want to add text to the comment but are ready to add a new command.
