I recently ran a list on our primary volumes and noticed that we had about
20 obsolete volumes still floating around.  I issued a DELVOL Primary for
them and assumed this would clean the entries out of the BCDS as well as the
MCDS.  As usual, I was wrong.  When I issue a LIST PVOL BCDS against them I
get the following as an example:

VOL=S8N20A, SMS=YES  VSAM CTLG=NOT OWNED BY A VSAM CATALOG
 CTLG VOL=      , LAST BACKED UP ON 93/09/23 AT 00:05
 LAST DUMPED TO CLASS ******** ON ******** AT ******** EXP DATE ********
 ARC0140I LIST COMPLETED,        3 LINE(S) OF DATA OUTPUT
 ***

The entries appear to have been deleted from the MCDS.  The AUDIT BCDS
doesn't seem to care about these entries.  How do I safely get rid of them?
I think a FIXCDS P S8N20A DELETE would work but I wanted to check with the
experts to see if there is a safer way of cleaning things up.  Thanks for
all of your help.
