Can you isolate the usercatalogs with disk entries on seperate volumes from the user catalogs with tape entries and then only do the full volume restore for the tape entry catalog? Then simply define empty user catalogs for the missing disk ones? Eliminate the need to do the delete work. Another thought - would it be simplier (and perhaps quicker) to do full volume restores for all your data instead of selectively restoring only certain datasets? Can the data be organized in a manner that would allow this to happen this way? Test data vs Production data on different volumes, perhaps?
