>The DELETE VOLHISTORY command leaves my a bit confused (anyone else?).
>Today I did a DELETE VOLHISTORY TODATE=TODAY-7 TYPE=ALL.
>I want to get rid of the old DBBACKUP volumes.
>In an append some weeks ago I've learned that it is save to delete
>TYPE=ALL.
>The command now removed all DBBACKUP tapes but also one STGNEW tape
>which still has data on it.
>The DBBACKUP tapes have been returned to status SCRATCH.
>The STGNEW tape still can be seen in a Q VOLUME but no longer in the
>Q VOLHISTORY.
>
>Why is a tape volume entered in the volume history when it is created
>for
>STGNEW and then deleted regardless if there is data on it or not?
>
>I've learned a lot from the discussions on this list.
>With the DELETE VOLHISTORY TYPE=ALL I know it does what I want -
>but I don't know WHY.
