Bryan,
Assuming that the 'priv' file is '/etc/pass1' then the following will purge
it (the errors can be ignored):

:file x=/etc/pass1;DEL
:dscopy *x;;fcode=-893

Regards
Paul H. Christidis



See the following example:

copy ./stest, /etc/pass1;code=-893  <<created file using MPEX>>

-----Copying /SYS/SUPUTIL/stest         => /etc/pass1


:print /etc/pass1
            ^                        <<verified its existance>>
PRIVILEGED FILE VIOLATION  (FSERR 45)
The PRINT command failed. (CIERR 9080)

:file x=/etc/pass1;del               <<Issued file equation with delete>>
:dscopy *x;;fcode=-893               <<Use dscopy>>
  Source file: *x
  SOURCE FILE CANNOT RESIDE IN A HIERARCHICAL DIRECTORY  (NFT/3000 ERR 113)
  UNABLE TO ACCESS SOURCE FILE/DEVICE.  (NS/NFTERR 4)

END OF SUBSYSTEM

:do print                            <<Verified that the file is gone>>
:print /etc/pass1
            ^
NONEXISTENT PERMANENT FILE  (FSERR 52)
The PRINT command failed. (CIERR 9080)

Subject: Purging Privileged Files???

Is there a utility to purge non-database privileged files (FCODE -893)?
We created some unnecessary password files located in HFS space while
installing Oracle.  I was able to DSCOPY the MPE files with the ;MOVE
option to a new group to be purged, but I can't move, rename or purge
the HFS files.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Just a thought...
