I hope you realize that "nothing is recoverable" is very vague. Most of the time, the phrase means "not worth the effort to recover". If you have security or regulatory issues where the phrase must be taken literally, I know of no options other than physical destruction.

All data has been moved to new DASD. The RAMAC DASD will be surplused so I have to be sure that the data has been wiped clean and nothing is recoverable - w ithout physically damaging the devices. All of the DASD is 3390-3. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
