Use this procedure to ignore any journal entries for an object identified by a tracking entry. The request changes the tracking entry status to *HLDIGN. Any journal entries for the associated IFS object, data area, or data queue, including any hold logs, are discarded. The *HLDIGN status remains until additional action is taken.
If a tracking entry has been on hold for a long time or you expect that it will be, the amount of storage used by the error/hold log space can be quite large. If you anticipate that you will need to save and restore the object or replace it for any other reason, it may be best to just ignore all current transactions.
Do the following:
-
Access the IFS or object tracking entry display as described in Accessing the appropriate tracking entry display.
-
Type
24(Ignore) next to the tracking entry for the object you want and press Enter.
