Commands Related to PURGE
PURGEDATA
Removes all data from a file. This command applies only to Enscribe files.
PURGEDATA does not physically purge data. It purges data logically by setting the
end-of-file (EOF) pointer to zero—the relative position to the beginning of the file. The
file still exists, its file name can be displayed (with the FILES command), and the
extents remain allocated (until you issue a DEALLOCATE command for the file).
fileset-list
is a list of files from which data is to be purged. Partial file names are expanded
using the current default node, volume, and subvolume (if necessary). You can use
wild-card characters and can specify qualified-fileset for fileset-list.
