Clearing local host file in TCPIP Services for OpenVMS

Does anyone know how I can dump all hosts that are currently defined in the local host file of an OpenVMS system running VMS 7.2-1 and TCPIP Services V5.1? There are too many hosts to enter $tcpip set nohost commands for every host.

Thanks.

It looks like wildcards are accepted:

$ tcpip set nohost */noconfirm

Hi Trace,
if you use
TCPIP>SET NOHOST * /CONFIRM
you can drop selectively

Even simpler :
$ ucx create host (or tcpip)
This way you keep a previous version with all the info.
