Many thanks Gary
Helpful and concise as always. I think what I'm going to do is just keep
about six months worth.
Much appreciated

Sir:
Depends on what you want to have available. I let my volume history
grow. This is because I occasionally need to know the history of a
particular tape cartridge.
After it goes back to scratch, tsm loses its error information. I can
use the volhist to see how many times it has cycled through stgnew
through stgdelete.
However, If you have no need for such historical data, you are correct.
You only need data back to the oldest db backup.

Subject: Volume History Question
Good morning people
This is such an old question but I have just been thinking about
something and want to make sure that my understanding is correct.
When I want to delete volume history information, am I right in assuming
that I can delete anything older than my oldest database backup.
For example, in my setting I keep database backups for 4 days before
they expire. So in this case, if I wanted to get rid of anything older
than say, seven days, I would be safe to do so.
Is this right?
Thanks
