OK, first off SQL is SQL and valid SQL will work in any tool as long as you handle the data types correctly. Conversely, some tools may let you get away with invalid SQL and what you've got there is potentially invalid depending on the datatype of your fake column "col1". What is it in you...

Immediate Purge is always the default when you do that manually. When you select 'Auto-purge' does it show that "Enabled for this job" is checked?

Go here and then look for mention of "DataStageBackup.bat" for a batch file you can run to do this. Or you can roll your own, of course, using dscmdexport.exe if you like.
