Richard, you're right but I thought that the commands (delete filespace,
delete volume) are only clean up the database and not deleting anything on
the physical tape cartridges.
I'm looking for a method to delete data on tape cartridges physically.
Thanks, so long

Uwe - There is DELete Volume for such a task.
At a higher level, you could do DELete FIlespace if you know that
the tapes all contain the data for a filespace you no longer want, to
avoid having to delete its volumes individually.
