Nope. One tape requires one command. Generate the commands using REXX, that's what I do. Something like: /* REXX */ DO VOLSER=200000 TO 209999 ADDRESS TSO "DELETE V"VOLSER" VOLUMEENTRY" END Make that a REXX program and run it in TSO batch. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets® 9151 Boulevard 26 .
