DFSORT can easily generate commands with sequential numbers. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of McKown, John Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 8:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: IBM VTS question.
We have an IBM VTS. We only use MEDIA2 virtual tapes in the VTS. However, by accident, the tape librarian did an insert of 10,000 (ten thousand) volumes of MEDIA1. She now want to "range delete" these. From what I can tell, although the INSERT is done via the VTS control panel (web page), the DELETE must be done on the z/OS side via a LIBRARY EJECT,volser,PURGE to remove the volumes from the TCDB. And the LIBRARY EJECT does not have a "range" capability, so I need to issue 10,000 individual LIBRARY EJECT commands. Am I correct, or is there an easier way? Oh, I will write a REXX routine to create the LIBRARY EJECT commands. I don't plan to entering them "by hand". -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
