Overview

The notes cleanup batch utility (B97DENTE) deletes browser notes that are attached to lists that are no longer available (expired or deleted).

Running B97DENTE

You should run this batch utility at regular intervals to ensure that obsolete notes are deleted from the database.

Tailored JCL for this job can be found in member B97DENTE in the BETA97.CNTL and in the corresponding step of the B97DAILY job.

You can also submit this batch utility online via option S.3.7. This will generate JCL from member SE97NCLN of the BETA97.ISPSLIB (skeleton library).
