4.2 IXFP DDSR

DDSR identifies this command as a DDSR function. DDSR causes the release of the physical storage space associated with:

Expired files

A total volume

A range of cylinders

A specified file

This function ensures that all space releases done on the VSE system (normally through deletes) result in space releases in the RVA subsystem. Figure 14 shows the syntax of the IXFP DDSR command.

4.2.1 Expired Files

DDSR, when specified without any additional parameters, deletes the VTOC entries and all physical space for all expired nonsecured files residing on VSE managed RVA devices. These extents are freed up and become part of free space.

To illustrate, we use two volumes: PATEV1 and PATEV3. The device addresses of these volumes are 80E and 80F, respectively. To delete all VSE-recognized expired files, issue the following command:

IXFP DDSR,NOPROMPT

The NOPROMPT parameter is included to prevent decision-type messages from being issued. Otherwise, decision-type messages are issued for the operator to verify and confirm (see Figure 15).
