PURGE term-id

You might need to purge storage for a CA Ideal session that is abruptly ended in CICS. For example, if a transaction is canceled, VPE can have storage areas and control blocks still allocated on behalf of the terminal.

If the session is not purged, these storage areas could be allocated indefinitely since the random terminal-ID assignment of AUTOINSTALL cannot reuse the original terminal ID. The PURGE command cleans up these storage areas.

Format

PURGE termid
termid

The four-character terminal ID. You must type this value exactly as generated by the AUTOINSTALL routine since term-ID is case sensitive. When the session is purged, the following message displays:

Terminal 'termid' purge complete

If the value supplied for term-ID is not a defined terminal ID, the following message displays:

Terminal 'termid' not found

Check to be sure you entered the terminal ID in the correct case, exactly as the AUTOINSTALL routine generated it.
