We have been trying to get off of Mobius Viewdirect for about 5 years now but there are some stubborn users who have done everything they can do to prevent this from happening. I have gotten the report archives to around 60,000 records and I basically did the same thing that someone already mentioned which was the TSO HLIST LEVEL(whatever.level.qualifier) OUTDATASET(output.dataset.name) recall routine. I changed the management class to not migrate the archives anymore since there were very few of them so now they just stay on L0. Just out of curiosity, what did you replace VD with?
