GROUP groupname TO BE PURGED?

No veri￿cation message is prin ted when you include the PURGEGROUP command within a job.

Order of purged elements

Group elements are purged by ￿les ￿rst, then the group. If no ￿les in the group are in use, and the group itself is not in use, the PURGEGROUP command removes the entire group, otherwise, only inactive ￿les are remo ved. To completely purge the group in this case, reen ter the PURGEGROUP command when neither the group nor its ￿les are in use.

Caution Do not attempt to purge the PUB group of the SYS account. You cannot completely purge the public group of the system

account, PUB.SYS . If you specify this group in the groupname parameter, all nonsystem and inactive ￿les are purged, whic h seriously impairs the proper functioning of the en tire system.
