If there are cycle count control files on your system that are older than 30 days or full physical inventory count control files that are older than 1 year, we recommend deleting them to recover disk space.
You can delete individual count control files using the Generate Control File screen or a group of files using the Purge Physical Count Files program.
To delete a count control file using the Generate Control File screen:
From the Physical menu, select Generate Control File to display the Generate Control File screen.
In the Count# field, enter the count control file ID of the count control file to delete.
Click Delete to display a confirmation prompt and click Yes.
Exit the window.
To delete count control files using the Purge Physical Count Files program:
From the Maintenance > Merge/Purge menu, select Purge Physical Count Files to display a prompt.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
At the purge prompt, enter the last count control file ID in the group of count control files to delete.
The system deletes all count control files prior to the count control file ID you enter.
Press Enter or Esc to purge the files and exit the screen.
