A very touchy subject, you must be especially careful of not deleting
minidisk holders and product installation ids.  Make sure noone is doing
READ or WRITE LINK commands to those minidisks.

I have worked with several companies and the policy for deleting unused
userids that seems to work well is when you coordinate with your HR
department.  When an employee is gone, they notify the computer
security administrators and only then is the ID deleted.

We have VM:Secure here and use its HOLD feature.  If an ID is on HOLD for
90 days, we then delete it from the system.

If you bill for DASD space, my philosophy is, "If the department is
willing to pay for the space, then leave the ID alone.

A take-off from there is to send the department managers a list of the
inactive ids (if you can define inactive) for them to identify any that
may be deleted.
