Purging a Dictionary

Purging a Dictionary

You can purge a dictionary by purging each dictionary file individually or, if the 
dictionary is open, by entering the NOSAVE command following the DICT or DICTN 
command.

To purge dictionary files individually, you must know the file names. You can see 

Appendix D, Dictionary Database Structure

, for the file names, or you can position 

yourself on the subvolume that contains the dictionary and use a FILES command to 
list the dictionary files. Dictionary file names always begin with DICT.

To list and then purge the dictionary files on $DATA.SALES, you can use the following 
command interpreter commands:

59> VOLUME $data.sales
60> PURGE 
DICTALT,DICTCDF,DICTDDF,DICTKDF,DICTMAP,DICTOBL,DICTODF
61> PURGE 
DICTOTF,DICTOUF,DICTOUK,DICTRDF,DICTTKN,DICTTYP,DICTVER

You can purge an open dictionary with the NOSAVE command. If NOSAVE is in effect 
when you exit from DDL, when another dictionary is opened, or when the dictionary is 
closed using the NODICT command, DDL purges the currently open dictionary.

NOSAVE is ignored if the dictionary is part of a Pathmaker catalog:

Note. Do not purge a DDL dictionary that is part of a Pathmaker catalog. Refer to Pathmaker 
documentation for instructions about how to purge a dictionary that is part of a Pathmaker 
application catalog.
