Re: Disk space required for an environment update

Bryan,
    I assume you are talking about your test env... Which is just for
testing and training???  Correct!!!!!!!!   I would be real careful about
just doing a clear file in the live inv...... Com has records in so many
files that you may leave some records hanging and cause you some real
problems... Files like APHSTS and ARHSTS, IMHIST, PRHSTD, PRHSTS... Again,,,
I am assume only the test env is being cleared.. I would not do a clear in
the live env....
