We have a few thousand to do. Nope. One tape requires one command. Generate the commands using REXX, that's what I do. Something like: /* REXX */ DO VOLSER=20 TO 20 ADDRESS TSO DELETE VVOLSER 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 .

Re: Need to delete olsolete entries from tape volcat
snip We now have a problem in that we want to remove all of the volcat entries from the shared volcat that belonged to the old hardware VTS that has been de-installed unsnip deleting the various entries is a way to go but the VCAT is a catalog. you could also AMS REPRO the old range to another catalog, if the new VTS' range is different, then delete the REPRO'd catalog.

Need to delete olsolete entries from tape volcat
Greetings All, We removed a hardware VTS a few months ago, replacing it with another virtual tape appliance. The new tape appliance uses a different range of tapes that are also in the same volcat. We use CA1 and SMS control for all of the virtual tapes. We now have a problem in that we want to remove all of the volcat entries from the shared volcat that belonged to the old hardware VTS that has been de-installed. What would be the best way to accomplish this task? TIA, Linda Mooney -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
