Roland,

I should also have clarified that the description needs to be included to 
determine which archive you wish to delete.

Therefore it should read

del arch <filespec> -subdir=yes -desc="description"

The testing of this with dummy data still stands.

Thanks

Leigh

Subject: [ADSM-L] How I can delete archived directory entries?

Hi all, 

With "DELETE ARCHIVE ..." I can delete archived files entries.

How I can delete the first and second archived directory entries?


query archive -fromdate=08-08-2006 "/*"

             Size  Archive Date - Time    File - Expires on - Description
             ----  -------------------    -------------------------------
