I remember that the CSI had this capability. it was fast (probably still is fater than the listxx idcams commands), and gave u the capability to create output file u could feed back into idcams to " DELETE entryname (purge, whatever)" from your little csi program, I am retired now, but if u really want me to write one, u can run on your system, as I dont have a CPU of my own here, at home. we can talk shekels.
I think, I wrote 1 a few years ago to delete unused entries at my other gdps site. seems application group did 2-site setup, but never did delete as the production version was archived, and the dual site system was "thrased of the "backup files" - BUT they didn't delete the gdg-bases because they were lazy. anyways i did write the pgm to detect the entries, the output-file was an after thought. i wrote it to "analyze my MCAT and UCAT filesizes, and entries" since it was growing at a alarming rate. I think, now, that it was a subroutine (as I exchaged it for the older "listcat entry output analysis" to the MODERN CSI method of getting the same data for my dual-backup tape system programs. i.e. reproduce all tms(CA1)/ IBM equivalent product (RMM) plus CAT entries and TAPE data (duplicated) to other site and return same inventory to have a fully functional dual gdps tape inventory for disaseaster. it still is working today, 20 years later. no bugs in my programs (C) simple to do, actually, ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
