Deleting Reports from a Folder
If a folder is full, you can delete old versions of a report using the VISTACLN.PUB.NETBASE
program. This program deletes the oldest n versions of a report within a specific folder. While in
the VISTAMNT program, you can define n for different reports.
In the VISTAINI.PUB.NETBASE initialization file, you define a default n to be applied to all
other reports. When you run the VISTACLN program, you can override n, specifying the number
of oldest generations of a report to be deleted this time. For more on deleting reports, see the section
on “Cleaning Folders” in Chapter 4 of this guide.
To delete all old versions of reports within a folder, enter:
: RUN VISTACLN.PUB.NETBASE
The screen changes, and you are prompted for the folder name. You can enter wild cards or specify
the folder to be cleaned:
Folder to be cleaned: @.ARCHIVE.PROD
3 Reports removed from folder @.ARCHIVE.PROD
Once the folder has been cleaned, the program will terminate.
