9i doesnt know what purge is, it parses the command for you first (thats why
you get an SP2 error, not an ORA-) , message

when running its a plsql block then it just sends the commands to the
database regardless and the data will try and execute it

This command is in the 10G SQL documentation, it does not seem to run from
command line of 9i client, but will work as a PLSQL block.

Is this the case? I need to execute this command from a script using
