Panel and field definitions
The following options are available:
- Erase
- Specify Y if the space occupied by the data set is to be overwritten with binary zeros when the data set is deleted; specify N if the space is not to be overwritten; or leave blank to use the erase option set when the catalog entry was defined or last altered.
- Purge
- Specify Y to delete the entry regardless of the retention period specified, otherwise specify N.
- Scratch
- Specify Y if the data set is to be removed from the VTOC of the
volume on which it resides, otherwise specify N.
This parameter is not applicable to entries which do not have a VTOC entry.
