# SW_PURGE

The `SW_PURGE` procedure purges the specified case of a procedure (permanently deleting it from the system). If events are set for the OnBeforePurge event, the events will be triggered when the case is about to purge but before the case is actually purged.

## Syntax

    SW_PURGE (
    proc_namein varchar2(8),proc_maj_verin number(5),proc_min_verin number(5),case_numberin integer)

where:

| • | `proc_name` is the name of the procedure that you want to purge a case of. The case must be either active or closed.

| • | `proc_maj_ver` is either the major version number of the `proc_name` procedure, or `-1`. See the notes .

| • | `proc_min_ver` is either the minor version number of the `proc_name` procedure, or `-1`. See the notes .

| • | `case_num` is the number of the case that is to be purged.

## Notes

Instead of using the specific major or minor version number or both of the procedure, you can specify both the `proc_maj_ver` and `proc_min_ver` parameters as `-1`. If you do this, iProcess will use the version number of the procedure that the case was originally started with or, that it has subsequently been migrated to (if a subsequent version has been released while the case is still in progress).

Note | If you specify one version number parameter as `-1`, you must specify the other one as `-1` as well.

## Example

This example purges case `103` of the `CUSTREQ` procedure.

    EXEC SSOLITE.SW_PURGE ('CUSTREQ', -1, -1, 103)
