If you are referring to the file system file which TSM maintains with
volume history information, it is a waste of time to make any changes
to the file, as it is a generated copy of the volume history info
maintained in the TSM database.

You may housekeep the volume history information, by age, but be
careful to not lose information which may help in research, and be
especially careful not to wipe out database backup records which
would be needed in a TSM database restoral.

Redoing the disaster recovery plans for tsm.

Is there any reason to keep the "STGNEW" entries that build up in
this file?
Been removing the "STGDEL" entries during daily processing.

Didn't see anything in the manuals about keeping this file from
growing forever.
