Delete dataspace (T)

The Delete dataspace function (option T) releases VSAM space on a volume to the system. Space not occupied by data sets is immediately released. This option is valid only for VSAM catalogs. It is not valid for ICP catalogs.

Enter a T in the OPTION field and specify values in the Volume serial and Catalog name fields. When you press Enter, File-AID deletes the space.

Warning

No confirmation screen is displayed and the results are immediate.

After the space is released, File-AID displays the message: ALL FREE SPACE DELETED in the upper-right corner of the VSAM Utility screen.
