Hello,

I have, on TSM 3.7.3, the following jobs :

Generate daily backupsets and checkout for offsite storage

Deleting the backupsets older than 30days via the following command :
del backupset * * enddate=today-30 and calling the tape back on site

A query backupset shows that it succeeded BUT ...

A q volhist type=backupset shows that the tape stays allocated

So, when the tape is back on site, they is no way to run a checkin with
a Scratch status as tape is still allocated in volhist. The only checkin
which is working is with Private status but the tape is unusable.

Do somebody know what happens and the way to solve this ?

Many thanks in advance for your help

Ruddy
