## ŒNERASE Erase a native file

The ŒNERASE function allows you to erase a file from the host file system. You must have the correct host access permission to erase the file. If the file is currently tied it will be untied before attempting to erase it.

The usual syntax of ŒNERASE is :

              ŒNERASE 'FILENAME'

'FILENAME' is a character vector specifying the name of the file to erase. The name may be either a full host path name, or the path may be omitted in which case the file to be erased must be located in the current working directory.

For compatibility with some other APL interpreters which require the file to be tied before it can be erased, an alternate syntax for ŒNERASE is supported :

         'FILENAME' ŒNERASE TIENO
