Removing a File From Safeguard Control
When a file is removed from the Safeguard database, the user specified by the
OWNER attribute becomes the Guardian owner. Users who had OWNER authority on
the access control list no longer own the file.
Removing a disk file from the Safeguard database does not change the setting of the
CLEARONPURGE, LICENSE, or PROGID attributes. These settings remain in effect
with Guardian security.
You can remove more than one file at a time from the Safeguard database. For
example, to remove the files report1 and quarter1 from the Safeguard database:
DELETE DISKFILE (report1, quarter1)
The Safeguard software sends a message informing you that the files are returned to
Guardian protection.
