Operation Notes 

   *   Usage 

       You can enter this command from a session, a job, a program, or in
       break mode.  Pressing Break does not affect this command.

       You must have system manager (SM) or account manager (AM)
       capability to enter this command.

       You cannot purge a user if he or she is currently logged on.  If
       you try to purge a user currently logged on to the system, the
       system responds by displaying the message IN USE:  CAN'T BE
       PURGED. You cannot purge MANAGER.SYS.

   *   Purge verification 

       When you enter PURGEUSER during a session, the system displays the
       following verification prompt to ensure that you do not
       accidentally purge the wrong user:

            USER user TO BE PURGED?  (YES/NO)

   *   Deleting remaining files 

       The files created by a purged user remain after you purge the user
       from the system.  The following choices are available for deleting
       files:

          *   The system administrator with system manager (SM)
              capability can remove the files' account by entering the
              PURGEACCT command.

          *   Someone with account manager (AM) capability can remove the
              files' group by entering the PURGEGROUP command.

          *   Anyone can enter the PURGE command for each file to be
              deleted.
