    Field Description
    Purge Code Identifies a purge program. This is a system defined code.
    Description Describes the type of purge.
    Rollback Segment Defines the rollback segment that should be explicitly used for the purge transaction qualified by the purge code. This is useful when there are huge logical data sets that have to be purged. This is optional and used for order related purges.
    Retention Days Enter the number of days of data to be retained in the database (going backwards from the time the program runs). Make sure that your table size takes into account the number of retention days entered here.
    Write to Log File Select this field if you want purged data written to a log. The log can be backed up and used as a journal at a later date.
    Log File Name Enter a log file name. The log file is created in the directory specified in the yfs.purge.path of yfs.properties. If a variable is introduced, then yfs.purge.path is ignored.
