Notes:

• This parameter is mutually exclusive with the AGE parameter. One of these two parameters must always be included in the SYSIN file when running 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.
• Note that the purge date must be specified in terms of a two-digit designation for the year and a three-digit designation for the day of the year. For example, 11100 represents year 2011 and the 100th day of that year.
