Mark,

Maybe there are not any database backups to delete !

To check enter :-

query volh type=dbb


I think the cmd you have tried,

del volh todate=today type=dbb

if it had worked , would mean all your database backups would have been
wiped out !

Aloha,

I want to delete old database backups.
I figured out for me self, that: del volh todate=today type=dbb should do
the job.
I also made an new Full DB Backup "today" to fit the needs of that
command, but i always get the message :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
del volh todate=today type=dbb
Do you wish to proceed? (Yes (Y)/No (N)) Y
ANR2467I DELETE VOLHISTORY: 0 sequential volume history entries were
successfully deleted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What wrong with that command ??? what did i miss ???
