delete volhist type=all todate=today-(however many days you want to keep) This should be run as an administrative schedule every day. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior consultant

During this time the only deletions from volhist happen by way of a daily schedule: "del volhist todate=today-9 type=dbb" My volhist file is getting HUGE. There must be more I can delete. What do other shops do? How do you find the oldest inuse volume? I tried querying the volume table for LAST_WRITE_DATE and sorting ascending on this column, the first record is the oldest tape. Do I then find this volumes entries in volhist to find its current creation date (STGNEW)? Ken Chamberlain University of Toronto Phone:(416) 978-1582 Fax: (416) 971-2085 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
