Panvalet Keeping prior version of program

[Patrick Cribbs]

Could someone offer suggestions or recommendation on keeping the prior version of a member within Panvalet.   We only keep the current  version of a program within Panvalet.   I would like to know what would be the options for keeping one prior version of a program within Panvalet and how to retrieve it.   Also for the options, how I would make adjustments for the changes and storage.

Hello Patrick,
   You can use the Panvalet  Match-Merge delete file or a Historical delete file to maintain prior versions of Panvalet members.

See the CA Panvalet TechDocs article -

Maintaining Match-Merge/Historical Delete Files

 

The OPTION command extends the backup facilities of CA Panvalet and provides you with an efficient means of retaining all prior versions of programs. The command is intended for users who need to have either a match-merge delete file or a historical delete file.

Here is the link the PAN#2  OPTION  command -
