TIA for the help! ... Jack

Back when these volumes were created I was on TSM server 4.1.3 on Windows
NT.
Now I am on 4.2.3.1 (windows 2000) and cannot get these volumes to delete so
I can use them as scratch.

I currently have no backupsets defined when I do a 'q backupset', but these
are still listed in my 'q volh'.

>From the lists archives, some un-documented features of 'delete volh'
command are found, so I tried:

        delete volhist TOD=today-nn vol=<volumename> TYPE=backupset
force=yes

This did not work for me either.  I recieved an error:

        ANR2404E DELETE VOLHISTORY: Volume 175acbl1 is not available.

but all these volumes are in my library, marked private.  Here is the
summary of the volhist for these volumes:
