Search for "prune history". As you don't mention your release, I assume 9.5 for which you can find more info here: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r5/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.ha.doc/doc/c0006138.html http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r5/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0001992.html http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r5/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.luw.sql.rtn.doc/doc/r0023578.html And here's a nice blog on the subject: http://www.db2ude.com/?q=node/55 (it has quite some 'whitespace', so you have to scroll down) HTH -- Jeroen
