Re: BPCS-L Digest, Vol 1, Issue 780

Hello Suzanna,

About AS/SET reorgs:  There is a parameter that allows you to save past
generations.  It is accessed from one of the AS/SET up screens.  You might
want to set this fairly high to start with and see how the reorg goes.
Later you can lower it and get a more complete purge.

Once you move an action diagram, the archived version never goes away. I go
in once or twice a year and manually clean these up. They show up as:   **

it that has come to my attention. We ran the Reorg last week - no problems.
There is no other tool available to perform what the ASSET reorg does. It
removes records that are soft deleted in the ASSETF files and then runs an
IBM reorg over the files to recover space etc.
