RE: Removing obsolete primary vol entries from BCDS

I do notice that some of the backup entries in the BCDS that are still
floating around and were initially backed up off these obsolete volumes
still reference that volume in the record. Would deleting the primary
volume entry from the BCDS cause us any issues with these backup entries??
Also I did notice that I still have a record in the MCDS from one of these
volumes, .VSRDBS001..., where DBS001 is the obsolete volume. Not sure how
to cleanly get rid of that one either.
Once again thanks for the help.

The "FIXCDS P" command is the proper cleanup method, and your syntax is
correct. It is safe.

I recently ran a list on our primary volumes and noticed that we had
about
20 obsolete volumes still floating around. I issued a DELVOL Primary
for
them and assumed this would clean the entries out of the BCDS as well as
the
MCDS. As usual, I was wrong. When I issue a LIST PVOL BCDS against
them I
get the following as an example:
VOL=S8N20A, SMS=YES VSAM CTLG=NOT OWNED BY A VSAM CATALOG
CTLG VOL= , LAST BACKED UP ON 93/09/23 AT 00:05
LAST DUMPED TO CLASS ******** ON ******** AT ******** EXP DATE ********
ARC0140I LIST COMPLETED, 3 LINE(S) OF DATA OUTPUT
***
The entries appear to have been deleted from the MCDS. The AUDIT BCDS
doesn't seem to care about these entries. How do I safely get rid of
them?
I think a FIXCDS P S8N20A DELETE would work but I wanted to check with
the
experts to see if there is a safer way of cleaning things up. Thanks
for
all of your help.
