 The name of the protocol on which the generic entity definition you
 want to purge is based.

 Specifies the object or objects for which you want old versions
 deleted.  You can use wildcard characters in the name.

Additional information available:

/DESCENDANTS/KEEP

 /DESCENDANTS
 /NODESCENDANTS (default)

 Controls whether or not members of relationships owned by the purged
 entities will also be purged.  Specifying /DESCENDANTS causes these
 members to be purged.  The default is /NODESCENDANTS, where members of
 relationships are not purged.

 Note that if a descendent member is owned by any other relationships in
 addition to a purged entity, that member is not purged, even if you
 specified /DESCENDANTS.

 Specifies the number of most recent versions to keep.  If you do not
 specify a number, the default is /KEEP=1, where only the member with
 the highest version number is saved.


 You cannot purge versions of a protocol.

 definition REGION.INVENTORY.PART.
