Script Problem

I don't have any bright ideas about the Hatches, but [in new-enough versions] Blocks can be defined to not allow Exploding. Might that be the case for any of yours? You can change that property in the Block Editor if needed.

In addition to the XPLODE-vs.-EXPLODE issue, A is not an abbreviation for ALL in object selection as it is in PURGE. It's for getting back into the Add mode if you have gone into Remove mode, but even if you haven't, A still just leaves you with the selection prompt as if you had. You would need to spell out the word ALL. And you would need a blank line [another Enter] as in your original Post, to complete the selection in the Explode command.
EDIT: The script as shown in Post 9 does not show the blank line, but after I picked the POST button, before the screen changed, I noticed that the blank line does show in the Replying-to part at the bottom, so you obviously do have that in your Script, even if the website has somehow expunged it in Post 9.

I think that my problem is that I cannot explode hatches through a script or lsp, am I right???
You can, BUT:
I knew that you can't Explode more than one thing together with an Explode command in an AutoLisp (command) function -- it will do only one unless you go through some hoops [do a SEARCH for discussions about the undocumented "QAFLAGS" System Variable]. I didn't expect the same would be true in a Script, but in a quickie test, apparently it is! I think you'll find that your Script Explodes one of the objects, though whether it's the latest one drawn, or the first one, or it chooses by some other criteria, I couldn't say.
You can change the QAFLAGS setting to let it Explode multiple objects at once, being sure to set it back again, or you can do a Lisp routine that will do it without changing that, by finding everything Explodable and stepping through the selection, Exploding them one at a time. The latter is safer, because of the problems that can result if QAFLAGS doesn't get set back [again, see the threads you'll find with a Search], but I don't think it can be done in a Script -- it would require AutoLisp. There are probably several Lisp routines on these Forums already that Explode multiple objects that way, and you would only need to adjust the way the selection is made to pick everything [or filter for just Explodable entity types, so it doesn't need to step through everything in the drawing].
Because [assuming you leave QAFLAGS alone] Explode within a (command) function does only one object, it does not want that extra Enter to complete the selection -- the allowable selection is complete with one entry. That additional Enter is therefore extraneous, which may be what's causing your Purge command to fail, but look over the Command-line history -- it may be obvious.

Can you explain me a bit what QAFLAGS command does?

I can't -- I only know its value [it's a System Variable, not a command] needs to be changed to be able to Explode more than one thing in a (command) function, and that it's very important to ensure it gets set back. I think there are a few other special circumstances that need it changed, though I forget what they are. But a Search of the Customization Forum will turn up more than you could ever want to know, from people who know more than I do about it. It's not documented in Help, so I'm not sure how they know more about it....
