This screen allows you to:
Delete selected information from the archive files.
Before you begin:
Choose the Purge Archive Files from the Utilities Menu.
This option deletes, removes permanently, information from the archive files.
Many files are available for purging. It is not required that any of these files be purged. Remember, when the file is purged you cannot retrieve or view the information deleted.
All of the options shown will ask a prompt similar to the prompt described below. All records in the file selected whose date is less than or equal to the date entered will be deleted. Only records whose date is greater than the entered date will remain in the selected file.
