RE: CPF7354 Excessive Physical Members for a Logical

RMVM - on the LF will remove the logical file member and thus the dependency
on PF members.  The ADDLFM on the LF will rebuild it over the members you
specify.  This can be automated by displaying the data base relations to a
file to get a list of LFs over the PF for the specific member you wish to
delete.

Check out:
DSPDBR FILE(LIBR/PHYSICAL)     
       OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)       
       OUTFILE(QTEMP/DEPENDS) 
       MBR(EMPTYMBR)

Subject: CPF7354 Excessive Physical Members for a Logical


from Al Macintyre

I'd like to get rid of empty members on work station addresses that are 
history, but I think this requires

a) kill all logicals on a physical
b) kill unwanted members
c) recompile logicals

Questions

Is there a simpler way to make unwanted members go away without having to 
kill / recompile logicals?
e.g. what is the function of EXPDATE parameter of a member?  Can I change 
that with CHGMBRPF or some such command, to cause a member to expire & go 
away quitely?

DSPFD & DSPDBR seem to show:
what logicals connect to the physical;
what formats & members the physical has.

What tells me which formats & members are in which logicals?
