Understanding Data Purge Programs

When data becomes obsolete or you need more disk space, you can use purge programs to remove data from files.

The system provides purges for removing data from files where the selection criteria needs to be specific. Purges are programs that have predefined criteria that the system checks before removing any data so that you avoid removing associated data that is located in other files.

Important: You must know the proper procedures and consequences of purging data to avoid serious damage to the system and data. Purging data is typically performed by a system administrator or operations personnel. Only those employees who understand the purging process and its results should be allowed access to this procedure.
