DESCRIPTION
This option purges data that resides in the "holding files" for the IVP,
-  The IVP, UDP and VBECS ""holding"" files are intermediate files that
   are populated ""realtime"" by inpatient pharmacy and VBECS activity.
   These files are then used to generate the IVP, UDP and VBECS extracts.
   NOTE:    The VBECS files CANNOT be regenerated.
   Once it is purged for a date range, extracts can no longer be
   generated for that time period."
 
 
 
PURGE RECOMMENDATIONS:
UDP and VBECS extracts.
Purging of any local holding files is not recommended until your facility
has successfully created  extracts, transmitted to the Austin Automation
Center, audited the counts,loaded the data into DSS AND ARE CONTENT WITH
THE RESULTS.
 
Care must be taken for several reasons:
 
-  Choosing a broad date range for the holding files could mean an
   excessively large number of records and be very CPU intensive.  Please
   be sure to queue this purge for off-hours and limit the number of
   holding files to be purged per a single queued session.
