DELJNS journal error during DELETE?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I was attempting to delete a user's subdirectory.
All was going well until the strange message below.
I have never seen this particular message before.
Please advise.  Thanks.

The Answer is :

 
  It would appear that RMS after-image journaling is enabled on the target
  file.  Disable it using the SET FILE journal-related qualifier before
  deletion: SET FILE/[NO]AI_JOURNAL...
 
  On more recent OpenVMS systems (V6 and later), HELP/MESSAGE DELJNS can
  return:
 
 DELJNS,  deleting a file marked for journaling not yet supported
          (unmark file for journaling first)
 
  Facility:     RMS, OpenVMS Record Management Services
 
  Explanation:  An attempt was made to delete a file marked for after-image,
                before-image, or recovery unit journaling.
 
  User Action:  Unmark the file for journaling, then delete the file.
