Rex, Just a short addendum on this topic after the good suggestions others 
have made.

Rather than building the DV volser FORCE and deleting all the volumes, you 
could consider some kind of retirement process. Set the release action of the 
volumes to RETURN to owner, then release them.  This allows the next run of 
EXPROC to process their release actions, which might include ERASE for 
example. EXPROC will handle all data set uncatalogs, racf updates and once 
you confirm the RETURN to owner (can be done with a global command CV * 
CRLSE(RETURN)) will delete the volumes.  The volumes already scratch can be 
deleted using DV volser REMOVE.  THE CLIST processing can help build lists of 
commands.

Many sites want to restrict what users can do, even the librarian, and the 
above approach avoids the dreaded FORCE option.
