Hi Darth, Small setup, so a single VOLCAT. Completely different ranges for the tapes, so I will be pursuing the IDCAMS delete that Frank mentioned in his reply. When I say small, that's really what I mean. The library I'm removing only had 100 tapes in it.
Thanks.

The VOLCAT actually has 2 MTLs in it, one that is active and the one I can't get >> rid of. How are your VOLCAT's set up? Do you have separate ranges for the old & the new libraries? If you do, I'd think you could delete the volcat's for the old library & then use ISMF to delete the library itself. Clean-up of your tape management system would be a separate task. IIRC, the library definitions are in the VOLCAT VGENERAL, not the VOLCAT's for the tapes. If you're using the same ranges for both libraries, I think you might be stuck deleting the entries for the old library's tapes as you were thinking before. ddk This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
