Binyamin, ITschak described how to SWITCH OLDS - though under supported IMS releases, /SWI OLDS would be preferred as you don't need to have a database to take offline... but I'm not sure that is what you are trying to do...
The only time IMS will indicate a PURGE of the OLDS is during abnormal termination - Among the first messages produced when IMS is terminating abnormally: - DFS3896I ATTEMPTING TO PURGE OLDS BUFFERS Followed by one of: - DFS616I, OLDS BUFFERS SUCCESSFULLY PURGED - DFS616I, OLDS BUFFER PURGE FAILED The only means to drive this processing is to cause a control region terminating abend (A MODIFY Command: F imsjob,STOP would do it - causing a U0020 abend... Use F imsjob,DUMP if you want an SVC dump of the U0020) Hope that helps...

If you coinfigure your skeleton jcl to write on ice (dummy, or same file), you will have a new log with no access to old log.
