Pending NRD Messages
Because NRD messages remain displayed until some action is taken, the non-roll-
delete message display area may become full if you do not remove the messages from
your window. New NRD messages are added to the non-roll-delete message queue
until there is room in the non-roll-delete message area for them to be displayed. At
any time when NRD messages are pending display, the following message is
displayed on the non-roll-delete message area delimiter line:

Removing NRD Messages From Your OCS Window
To remove a NRD message from your window, move your cursor to the line
containing the message and press the ENTER key. This is called NRD message cursor
deletion.
Note Removing a full NRD message by the cursor deletion method only removes it from display on your OCS
window; it does not delete it from the central NRD message queue.
Removing a NRD message with the OPER attribute by the cursor deletion method is
the same as deleting it. For a full NRD message, however, this method simply
removes it from your OCS window; you must still use the PURGE command to delete
full NRD messages from the central NRD message queue.
Restoring Full NRD Messages to Your OCS Window
Issue a NRDRET command to redisplay all full NRD messages removed from your
OCS window by the cursor deletion method.
The oldest removed full NRD messages are redisplayed in the NRD message area
until the area has expanded to its maximum size.
The NRDRET command redisplays all full NRD messages you are entitled to view,
including those still outstanding that occurred before you entered OCS.
Deleting NRD Messages From Your OCS Window and the Central Queue
There are four ways a NRD message can be deleted, both from the central NRD
message queue and from all OCS windows on which it appears:
You issue a PURGE NRD command. You can purge NRD messages:
From a specified domain. The following example purges all NRD messages
from a specific domain (SYS1):
PURGE NRD=SYS1/*
Older than a specified number of minutes, hours, or days. The following
example purges all NRD messages older than 1 hour:
PURGE NRD=1H
