Using the Database Utilities
>>ERASE
DBUTIL reinitializes all the data sets in the ORDERS database to binary zeroes. With the
exception of the access, PREFETCH, and recovery flags, the database flags are reset to their
default conditions. The logging and MUSTRECOVER options are disabled if they were
previously enabled.
NOTE
The execution of utilities is not logged. If you use DBUTIL to erase the
database, the >>ERASE command automatically disables logging, ILR,
third-party indexing, MUSTRECOVER, and roll-back recovery.
If user runs DBUTIL in interactive mode, DBUTIL will prompt the database name
together with the group name and the account name where the database resides for
confirmation:
>>ERASE ORDERS/SELL
Database selected -- ORDERS.MYGROUP.MYACCT
Do you want to continue with ERASE (Y/N)?
DBUTIL will not prompt for confirmation if it is not in interactive mode. If user wants to
disable the prompt, a JCW has to be set before running the DBUTIL:
:setjcw NODBUTCONF = 1
