The PURGE command deletes all but the highest versions  of  specified
 dictionary  objects.  You specify the objects with a full or relative
 path name.  If you do not enter a path name with  PURGE,  DMU  purges
 the   objects   in   your   default  directory.   Because  dictionary
 directories cannot have multiple  versions,  PURGE  does  not  affect
 them.

 Command Syntax:

  PURGE [qualifiers] [path-name [,path-name]...]

 path-name

 Specifies  the  objects  you  want  to  purge  or  the  directory  or
 subdictionary  that  contains the objects you want to purge.  You can
 use the wildcards *, %, and > in the path name specification.  If you
 are  using  a  terminal  of  the  VT200  family,  you  can  use 8-bit
 characters in path names.  If you specify an object,  the  path  name
 cannot  contain  a  version  number  or  a  semicolon.  If you do not
 specify a path name, PURGE  operates  the  objects  in  your  default
 directory.

 You need DELETE (D) or GLOBAL_DELETE (G)  privilege  at  each  object
 that PURGE deletes.

/KEEP/LOG

 Syntax:

     /KEEP=n

 You use /KEEP=n to specify the number of versions of each object  you
 want  to keep.  The number must be greater than zero.  The default is
 /KEEP=1.

 Syntax:

     /LOG [=file-specification]
     /NOLOG

 You use /LOG  if  you  want  DMU  to  generate  a  message  for  each
 dictionary  object  deleted  by  the  PURGE  command.   If you do not
 specify a file, the messages are sent to the terminal.   The  default
 is /NOLOG.
