Assuming you mean COMMAND.PUB.SYS, MPE does take care of it by
de-activating the appropriate entry within it that corresponds to the
PURGEACCT or PURGEUSER command.

However, remnants of the entry do remain in the file.

There is a program - UDCUTIL, from the Boeing TECHXL account - that can be
used to clean up these remnants.

One must be careful when using UDCUTIL.

For example, if you had simply stored then purged all files from an account
and so preserved its account structure, its UDC structure would also be
preserved such that restorartion of any still-active UDC files would render
them active automatically.

If the appropriate command in UDCUTIL (I think "clean" but I'm not sure -
type help to know for sure) were to be invoked, the UDC structure of empty
accounts would be removed from COMMAND.PUB.SYS. This may not be what you
want to happen.
