AM300


AM300 - Historical Purge

**Form Purpose
Run Historical Purge (AM300) to purge selected asset records, past or
current, from the Asset Management database. Typically, you use this form to
reduce the size of the database files, so you apply it only to historical
data. (You can, however, purge current data such as test data.)

You can purge one or more of the following types of records for the company
or company group and date range you select: Adjustments, Transfers, Disposals,
Transactions, Comments, URLs, and Repairs.

If you select Yes (Y) in the Archive field, AM300 generates a comma-separated
value (CSV) file in the $LAWDIR/productline/work directory for each file that
you selected for purging.

WARNING This program permanently deletes data. Before you run this program,
back up your data according to your organization's procedures. Before you
submit the report, carefully review the parameters.

CAUTION AM300 always uses the same file names (one for each type of file).
This  means that any time you run AM300, the previously generated purge files
are  overwritten by the new ones. If you want to preserve a previously
archived  purge file, you must copy it to a different directory before running
AM300  again.
