PURGE

Purges entries in the NRJE Joblog.

This command does not apply if you are connected to a VSE/POWER host system.

Syntax

        {ALL}
PUR[GE] {O[LD][;DATE=Date[;TIME=Time{AM}]]}[;W[SID]=Wsid]
                                    {PM}

Parameters

ALL

Empties the Joblog file. NRJE prompts you with

PURGE ENTIRE JOBLOG, (Y/N)?

OLD

Purges entries for cancelled jobs and jobs that were placed in the Joblog prior to the specified date and time. (Entries are placed in the Joblog at the time of transmission to the host.)

OLD also causes entries for jobs that were transmitted to the host, but not acknowledged as having been received, to be purged.

Date

The date in the custom date format for the language in use.

Default: yesterday

Time

The time in the custom time format for the language in use.

Default: 12:01 a.m.

Wsid

The workstation name. This can be up to eight alphanumeric characters long; the first character must be alphabetic.

If you omit this parameter, the default workstation identifier is used. You can specify a default workstation identifier in the NRJE command.

Description

This command allows you to purge entries in the NRJE Joblog.




	NOTE: If you are running SNA NRJE in batch mode, the PURGE command will execute without asking you to confirm it with a `Y` or an `N`.

If exclusive access to the Joblog can be obtained, then disk space can be recovered by a PURGE. Otherwise, Joblog entries will be marked for deletion with no space recovery. Exclusive access can be obtained only while the workstation is inactive.




	NOTE: You must logon to the SYS account to purge the Joblog.

Example

For this example, the current date/time is assumed to be 8/5/87, 11:42 a.m.:
 
R11>purge old
PURGE ALL ENTRIES PRIOR TO TUE, AUG 4, 1987, 12:01 AM (Y/N)?
 
R11>purge old;date=8/4/87
PURGE ALL ENTRIES PRIOR TO TUE, AUG 4, 1987, 12:01 AM (Y/N)?
 
R11>purge old;date=8/4/87;time=11:27am
PURGE ALL ENTRIES PRIOR TO TUE, AUG 4, 1987, 11:27 AM (Y/N)?
