Try this utility, if you have System Manager capability. It has a dire warning,
but the PURGE command will work when all else fails.

 Subject: [HP3000-L] Bad Variable Block Structure








I have a logfile which indicates the following when I try to purge it.

%purge log7815.pub.sys
-----Will purge LOG7815.PUB.SYS (code "", type VB, EOF 33620, 1056 sectors)
1056 sectors will be saved
OK to purge 1 file (y/N)? y
 -----Purging LOG7815.PUB.SYS (1056 sectors)
BAD VARIABLE BLOCK STRUCTURE  (FSERR 105)
Unable to purge file "LOG7815.PUB.SYS". (CIERR 384)
%

I've tried purging it from the system prompt and from MPEX and I get the same
message. Is there a way to purge this?

Tia,
