The Question is:
Dear Wizard,
I backed up shelved file (on VMS 7.2). I restored the file on an OpenVMS system
V7.2 that DOES NOT have an HSM product installed. The original cartridge with
the shelved file contents is unusable. If I try to delete a file VMS says it
can't delete it beca
use it's shelved:
%DELETE-W-FILNOTDEL, error deleting DKB400:[BANK.BANK.IZP2]ZRVAR02.DAT;1
-RMS-E-MKD, ACP could not mark file for deletion
-SYSTEM-F-SHELVED, file contents shelved
(this file is the only file in the directory)
I tried to fool the system with
$ set file/nodir dkb400:[bank.bank]izp2.dir
$ delete dkb400:[bank.bank]izp2.dir;
$ anal/disk/repa/conf dkb400:
%ANALDISK-I-OPENQUOTA, error opening QUOTA.SYS
-SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file
%ANALDISK-W-LOSTHEADER, file (4864,445,1) ZRVAR02.DAT;1
not found in a directory
Repair this error (D to delete)? (D, Y or N): d
%ANALDISK-W-DELETE, file (4864,445,1)
error deleting file
-SYSTEM-F-SHELVED, file contents shelved
Answering YES puts the file into the SYSLOST directory.
What can I do? I would like to delete this file.
I tried to patch the INDEXF.SYS file but I don't know its structure. And of
course, the INDEXF.SYS file is locked.
HELP!
Thank you very much for your help. Could you send your answer to my e-mail,
please. Or notify me when (if) the answer appears on the web.

The Answer is : There is presently no way to do this -- short of using HSM -- but the OpenVMS Wizard is aware of plans to provide such a tool in the future. If you wish to pursue this issue, please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center directly.
