Use the filesystem number format instead:

del fi afsdbms 3 nametype=fsid


With Winders and unicode you may be running into codepage issues. Just use the 
FSID instead....and make sure you type carefully!
Don't want to mistype the wrong number.

Subject: DEL FILE on individual Windows file spaces

We have a mix of AIX and Windows.....example below.
On deleting individual filespaces on AIX there is no problem, as:

del file aixadmin /usr

However, trying to delete individual Windows filespaces causes probems.
All files can be deleted but individula filespaces specified returns a not 
found error:

del file afsdbms *............this works

def file afsdbms \\afsdbms\e$..............does not work
