Hi this is a total newbie question. I'm a sysadmin and I inherited an openvms 7.2 system. My problem is there is no space on the disk and I can't get to a dcl prompt to do a purge. I can halt the system but not sure how to use the rm command. I see there are a few files with thousands of versions and I want to keep the latest version. Any ideas?
