Paul,
You could try
del volh tod=today vol=xxxxxx type=backupset force=yes
(only the first volume in sequence is required the others will delete
automatically)

Subject:  Error during "delete volhistory"



Anyone know how to delete multi-volume backupsets from volhistory?
BTW, server is 4.1.3.0 (waiting on my spare time for an upgrade...)

Actlog output looks ominous:
ANR2017I Administrator WERIPP issued command: DELETE VOLHISTORY
typ=backupset volu=SP0064 force=yes todate=today
ANR9999D tb.c(2029): Invalid Encoded Key Length
ANR0106E imarqry.c(3069): Unexpected error 100 fetching row in table
"Archive.Descriptions".
ANR9999D icvolhst.c(3473): Volume SP0064 initially found no longer exists
during volume deletion.
ANR2468E DELETE VOLHISTORY: An internal server error was encountered while
deleting server sequential volume history information.
ANR2017I Administrator WERIPP issued command: ROLLBACK

Tried first and last tape of the series, with same results.
A comma-separated list generated a "no such volume" type error.
