DELETE Command Updating VTOC Entries (TSIDVUT)
6-58 BIM-EPIC Installation and System Guide
DELETE Command
Use the DELETE command to remove an entry from the VTOC. This can be necessary when
a DSN Catalog controlled dataset version has been removed from the DSN Catalog but
remains in the VTOC. Because BIM-EPIC uses an expiration date of 2099/365 on all disk
versions created under its control, when the VTOC and the DSN Catalog do not agree for a
catalog controlled disk dataset, disk versions must be manually removed from the VTOC
using the DELETE command.
You can also use the DELETE command to remove a BIM-EPIC start-track-1 or non-BIM-
EPIC disk version which is no longer needed, regardless of it expiration date.

volid specifies the disk volume by volume serial number.
poolid specifies a disk pool. When specified, volumes defined as part of the poolid but in
quiesced or offline status will not be accessed nor will files residing outside the limits of the
poolid. If poolid is specified, do not specify either SYSnnn or X'cuu'.
SYSnnn specifies the disk volume by logical unit number. If this operand is used, the logical
unit number must already be assigned to the device. You can specify a volume in addition to
the SYSnnn parameter. If both are specified, TSIDVUT processes the command only if the
volume and logical unit number refer to the same volume.
