Two programs are very similar:

Both programs mark rules as purged. The only difference is:

User Tip: Rate records that are flagged for purging will not purge if they are still referenced by a reservation or RA that is still on file (even if those records are very old). But having been flagged as 'purgeable' through this program, the record will no longer be "visible" on rate searches and cannot be used on new reservations or RAs.

To access the Mark Rules for Purging program, type MRKRLS (RET) at any menu "OPTION:" field or the appropriate line number on the Purge Dependent Files submenu of the Purge Menu. The screen will then display:

OPTION: __ MARK RULES FOR PURGING

Enter data as follows:

1. RATE SET

Enter up to 2 alphanumeric characters to indicate the Rate Set whose rates are to flagged for purging, or type "ALL" to include to all Rate Sets.

EXAMPLE: Type ALL (RET)

2. START RATE CODE

Enter up to 12 alphanumeric characters to indicate the first Rate Code that is to be evaluated for purging, or type "FIRST" to start with the first rate code on file.

EXAMPLE: Type WEEKLY (RET)

3. END RATE CODE

Enter up to 5 alphanumeric characters to indicate the last Rate Code that is to be evaluated for purging, or type "LAST" to end with the last rate code on file.

EXAMPLE: Type WKEND (RET)

4. START DATE

Using your selected date format, enter a start date for purging rates, or press (RET) to default to the current date.

EXAMPLE: Type 010120 (RET)

5. TEST RUN

Enter:

Y = Yes, this is a "test run". The program will print a report of all rate records that would be flagged for purging if this were NOT a test run.

N = No, this is not a "test run" - it is a "real run". Records that meet the selection criteria will be flagged with Status Code "P".

EXAMPLE: Type N (RET).
