Hello Scott,
That is what I was missing. The TRKFMT will work in the DS6800 too (1750) . You must have the required CYLRANGE parameter: specify a range of cylinders and ERASEDATA with (IIRC) Cycles of 3 or more. Would someone please verify this? The TRKFMT command performs track-related functions on a subset of a volume. When data is no longer needed, the ERASEDATA parameter overwrites a specified track or range of tracks, and upon completion performs an erase. The TRKFMT command can be used for 2105, 2107, 1750, 3380, 3390 and 9345 devices (except for devices attached to 3880 control units, and 3990-CJ2).

Seems to me that ICKDSF INIT with purge and some other parameters would do what you want. Or reformat the Ds6800 using the Storage Manager software.
