- Subject: (U) reclaim space when deleting catalog members?
- Lines: 31
-
- I've encountered a problem and haven't been able to find any information
- in the SAS documentation. We're running VM/CMS and are testing SAS 6.07.
- I've checked the _SAS Companion for CMS_, Tech.Rept P-219 "Changes ... CMS",
- and the SAS Lang. Ref. on PROC CATALOG. The problem is that during my
- testing after I installed 6.07 I generated many members in my SASUSER
- catalog in CMS file 0PROFILE SAS6USER A. When I saw that this file was
- taking up a lot of disk space, I ran the following under SAS:
-
- proc catalog cat=sasuser.profile;
- contents;
- run;
-
- This produced a listing of 40+ members. I identified all but 6 or 7 that
- I could get rid of and ran the following:
-
- proc catalog cat=sasuser.profile;
- delete badmem1 badmem2 /et=source;
- run;
-
- I ran this for all the members to be deleted, and then I ran the
- contents code (first example) again to check it. This time the
- listing showed only the 6 or 7 members that I needed to keep.
- So far apparently so good. I exited SAS and at the CMS level
- issued the filelist command. 0PROFILE SAS6USER A still took up
- the same disk space as before the deletes. What am I doing wrong?
- Is there any way to reclaim that space? Thanks in advance for
- any assistance. I really need an answer to this one before I have
- users filling up their disks.
