The format of the command is shown below.
DELETE SKNAME='skname'
SKNAME=
Optional parameter. Indicates that the named sort key record is to be deleted.
A valid entry is 1- to 8-character sort key name enclosed in apostrophes.
Deleting Volume Records
To delete volume records, provide the following information:
The format of the command is shown below.
DELETE VOLser=xxxxxx [EXTERNAL= {NO|YES }]
VOLser=
EXTERNAL=
Required parameter, mutually exclusive with 'data set name'. Specifies the
volume serial number record to be completely deleted from the Catalog for a
tape volume currently in SCRATCH status. A valid entry is a 1- to 6-character
volume serial number.
Optional parameter. Indicates whether volume is externally owned; that is,
whether it is owned by another system. If you want to delete an externally
owned volume, you must specify EXTERNAL=YES.
The default is EXTERNAL=NO.
Information that an external volume is being deleted is not passed to the
external system. It is the responsibility of the owning system to maintain its
own volumes. However, information about CA Dynam/VSE-owned volumes is
passed to the other system.
