Whats the knock on effect of not clearing your volhist anyway?
Short of getting a large text file hanging around.

For STGNEW, STGDELETE, STGREUSE entries, there is no use for them once
your
oldest DB backup has expired, but it's OK to keep them around longer.

Be careful though, clearing out the VOLHIST, if you occasionally create
BACKUPSET or EXPORT tapes - if you delete those VOLHIST entries, the
volumes
will go back to scratch state and can get written over.

I usually keep db backup volumes about 5 days, for other volhist entries
I'd say that 30-60 days is about the maximum usefull time.
