Hello ADSMers,

Has anyone out there come up with a script to parse the Volume History
file in order to determine how far back you can go with a DELETE VOLHIST
TYPE=ALL, and not affect any volumes currently in use?  I was about to
attempt this by trying to match STGNEW and STGDELETE entries in a (I'm
assuming) complicated AWK program, but I am hoping someone out there has
already done (and tested) this.

We have entries in our volume history from over two years ago.  Even
entries for 3490E tapes which we got rid of months ago, and there doesn't
seem to be any way to easily remove them.

Thanks for any help.
