deljobhst - Delete Job History

deljobhst [-ckjrUvw] [-d] [-u username] [-n JobName] [-f fromdate] todate

Delete the print files, completed job entries, and waiting job entries with an Invalid Parameter status. You can also delete individual job logs on the Completed Jobs form, which removes the GEN database record but keeps the physical files. For more information, see Lawson Administration: Jobs and Reports.

This utility is securable and if a security violation is encountered, access must be granted to the token through LSA. To grant a user access, see the Resources and Security Administration Guide.
