The PURGEDBE command purges an existing DBEnvironment. When a DBEnvironment is purged, the DBECon file and all DBEFiles related to the DBEnvironment are purged. The log files are not purged.




	NOTE: PURGEDBE does not purge the log files because the log files may be used for a subsequent rollforward recovery. The user must use the PURGEFILE command to purge the log file(s).

In order to prevent a user from accidentally purging the DBEnvironment, a YES response to the confirmation prompt is required.
This command can only be executed when the DBEnvironment is not in use.
If you previously purged either the file DBEFile0 or the log file(s), the DBEnvironment cannot be purged with the PURGEDBE command.

You must be the DBECreator or have SM capability to use this command.
