Re: How do I wipe out the data

Glenn,

  If you are REALLY serious, go to the Advanced Backup and Recovery guide and 
follow the steps to
reload your system from the distribution tapes(CDs).  You will do a Function 24 
re-load which will
start with all the drives un-initialized.  DO NOT Take the option to recover 
the disk configuration
or it will put everything back! (A quasi un-format).  Once you have added all 
the disks to the
system ASP you should quit.  OS/400 prior to V4 is licensed to the customer not 
the CPU so it should
go back sans the operating system anyway.
