Silvio, One thing to be careful of is that for every D type record in the CDS there is also an A type. Just deleting the D types would leave 'orphaned' A types. Of course, you can establish the name of the A types as it is a field within the D type, but this can be a lot of mucking around.
Casting my mind back a few (OK, a lot) years, I think we used to flip a bit in the D type record to say that the dataset was no longer required when we found uncatalogged datasets within the MCDS. IIRC it is in byte 6 somewhere (my REXX was called HSMFIX6!) Hope this helps a bit.

ARC0734I ACTION=SCRATCH FRVOL=AAAAAA TOVOL=****** TRACKS= 0 RC= 14, REASON= 0, AGE= 618, DSN=$XX.XX.XXXXXXXX.XXXXX.G0172V00 Volume AAAAAA is no longer in use and the DSN is an old GDG that has been rolled off. The manual says: "Migration cleanup was trying to scratch an old migration copy from an SDSP data set but the ML1 volume was not mounted, so the scratch was not issued. If you want the copy deleted, have the migration volume mounted the next time migration cleanup is run. " Since I can no longer mount that volume I would like to issue the follwoing command: FIXCDS D '$XX.XX.XXXXXXXX.XXXXX.G0172V00' delete Since I have a lot of entries to 'fix', I would like to confirm that this is a safe approach.
