Have you ever tried it?

If you had, you'd realised that rman is smart enough to know that when run through a script there is no-one around to type yes.

Just put it at the end of your script.

Strangely enough, this is even documented :-)

(from the RMAN Reference):
By default, DELETE displays a list of the files and prompts you for confirmation before deleting any file in the list, unless you are running a command file.
