PURGEGROUP
Removes a group (and all files belonging to it) from the system or from the specified
volume set directory.
Syntax
PURGEGROUP
groupname [. acctname ] [;ONVS= volumesetname ]
Parameters
groupname Name of the group in the logon account to be removed. This name must
contain from one to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning with an
alphabetic character.
acctname Specifies the account in which the group is found. System manager (SM)
capability is required to use this parameter.
volumesetname Specifies a particular volume set from which the group is to be purged.
The volume set must be one already defined and recognized by the system.
Volume set names consist simply of from 1 to 32 characters, beginning
with an alphabet character. The remaining characters may be alphabetic,
numeric, the underscore, and periods.
If you specify a volumesetname , you must specify the full name of the
volume set.
If
volumesetname is specified, the volume set must be mounted or the
PURGEGROUP command fails. When the
volumesetname parameter is
specified, the group is removed from the volume set directory, and not the
system directory.
