SCRATCH object-name As object-name, you specify the name(s) of the object(s) to be deleted. You can only delete objects which are stored in your current library.

If you wish to delete all objects whose names begin with a specific string of characters, use asterisk notation (*) for the object-name.

Note:
If an FDIC system file is specified in the parameter file which is not valid, Natural will display an appropriate error message when the SCRATCH command is issued.
