Hi Remco! This is what I would do: dsmadmc -commadelimited q vol stgpool=obsoltestgpool > c:\temp\vollist.txt Open this file in Excel, insert a column before, where you type del volume and drag this line all the way down. Do the same in the column C and type there discarddata yes wait=yes. Also drag this column all the way down. Now save the file as text file and you have a nice macro file which you can use as input for dsmadmc. Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

Now, the migration is finished and I have a copy storagepool with 1200 volumes in it, that all can be deleted. Now since I'm not the kind of guy that likes typing del vol <vsn> discarddata=y 1200 times, I was wondering if anybody happens to have a nice script available to clear out a storagepool? -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Remco Post SARA - Reken- en Netwerkdiensten http://www.sara.nl High Performance Computing Tel. +31 20 592 8008 Fax. +31 20 668 3167 "I really didn't foresee the Internet.
