The PERSISTENT Attribute

To verify that the CLEARONPURGE attribute is on:

=INFO DISKFILE quarter1, DETAIL

The PERSISTENT Attribute

The PERSISTENT attribute causes the disk file authorization record to be retained

even if the file itself is purged. That is, if you purge a file with PERSISTENT ON and

later create a file with that name, the new file assumes the authorization record

associated with the old file.

For example, to set the PERSISTENT attribute to ON and give user 2,18 CREATE

authority for the file quarter1:

=ALTER DISK quarter1, ACCESS 2,18 C, PERSISTENT ON

To verify the setting:

=INFO DISKFILE quarter1, DETAIL
