I do notice that some of the backup entries in the BCDS that are still floating around and were initially backed up off these obsolete volumes still reference that volume in the record. Would deleting the primary volume entry from the BCDS cause us any issues with these backup entries?? Also I did notice that I still have a record in the MCDS from one of these volumes, .VSRDBS001..., where DBS001 is the obsolete volume. Not sure how to cleanly get rid of that one either. Once again thanks for the help.

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.
