Removes a user from an account.
PURGEUSER user[.acctname]
user Name of the user to be deleted. acctname Specifies the name of the account in which the user is found. Default is the logon account of the account manager.
Account Managers use the PURGEUSER command to delete a user from account. You are asked to verify the command only when it is executed during a session, and not from a job. To do so, respond YES or NO to the message USER user TO BE PURGED? (YES/NO) An attempt to purge a user currently logged on to the system fails, and an explanatory message is displayed: IN USE: CAN'T BE PURGED. The user can only purged if the user is not logged on when the PURGEUSER command is issued. An attempt to purge MANAGER.SYS always fails, since this user can never be purged if the user is logged onto the system. If files created by a purged user remain after the user is purged from the system, the system manager can remove them with the PURGEACCT command, or the account manager can eliminate them by executing PURGEGROUP. This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing [Break] has no effect on this command. To execute this command, the account must be the same as the logon account of the command issuer unless that user has System Manager (SM) capability.
To remove a user named USER1, enter PURGEUSER USER1 USER USER1 TO BE PURGED? YES
