David, have you tried using the -itemcommit option on the dsmadmc command, i.e.

     dsmadmc -id=davidong -itemcommit

Then issue the macro command.

Alternatively, place the 'commit' statement between commands in the macro, i.e.

 backup volhist file=/sys/logs/adsm/volhist.%1
 commit
 del volhist todate=today-7 type=dbbackup
 commit
 backup db devc=atl3590 type=full scratch=no vol=%2
