We do essentially the same thing at our DR tests. I have a REXX EXEC that runs through all the catalogs and verifies datasets in each catalog actually reside on the volume the catalog says it does. If not, I generate a DELETE NOSCRATCH statement for IDCAMS. Deleting a couple thousand entries is fairly fast. We do have one catalog that contains 99% stale data, so I end up erasing almost all of the catalog entries in that catalog - tens of thousands. While it takes a while to complete this cleanup, it's nowhere near 80 minutes. Maybe splitting it up into smaller chunks ??? I perceive the cleanup process slows down after several thousand deletes as well. But I've got other things going on while that is running, so I don't really care that much. Good Luck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
