DELETE VVP=

This command deletes a range of scratch volume serial numbers in multiples of 100 from 100 up to 100,000.

The Virtual Volumes to be deleted by this command must be in scratch status in the CA Vtape Global VCAT. If any of the volumes are not in scratch status, none of the volumes will be deleted and the following message is issued:

SVTnD1612E  Not all volumes in the range are in scratch status

Note: This command is disabled when Volume Pooling is in effect. Volume Pooling is required if your control data sets can index more than 510,800 Virtual Volumes.

Syntax
SVTn DELETE VVP=xyyy00-xzzz99 
 Beginning VOLSER must end in 00.
 Ending VOLSER must end in 99.

See the ADD VVP= console command for the syntax to use when coding a range of VOLSERs.
