History and SMF Files › XCOMUTIL Parameters › AGE
AGE
Specifies the number of days of history records that are retained when a purge procedure is executed.
- 1 to 999
-
Indicates the number of days of history records to be retained when executing a purge.
Notes:
- After XCOMUTIL has been run, the history file comprises the current date's records plus nnn days of records. For example, if the current Julian date is 08300 and AGE=1 is specified, then XCOMUTIL purges any history records written on or before 11298. Only the current and previous day's history records are saved.
- Use the AGE parameter if you intend to run XCOMUTIL on a periodic basis. It allows you to set up a procedure in which a specific date does not have to be continually modified.
- This parameter is mutually exclusive with the DATE parameter. One of these two parameters must always be included in the SYSIN file when running a purge.
- This parameter is optional for a history migration. It may be specified to limit the number of history records migrated to the new history file.
