Delete tool environment (DELTOOLENV)

The DELTOOLENV function is used to delete the data sets that are used to describe tool
environments. Deletion means that the set of data stored under a particular name can no longer
be accessed (an access attempt triggers an alarm).
Note
Data sets can only be deleted using the DELTOOLENV function, by an INITIAL.INI download
or by a cold start (NC power up with default machine data). There are no additional automatic
deletion operations.
