Kosta try the following:
 
1. Use listf -3 on the file to find out the actual value of the 'PRIV'
   file code.
        :LISTF I0038,-3
        ********************
        FILE: I0038.DATA....
 
        FILE CODE : -400                FOPTIONS: BINARY,FIXED....
        BLK FACTOR: 1                   CREATOR : MGR
        ...
 
        VOLCLASS  : MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET:DISC
 
2. Issue a file equation such as:
        FILE A=I0038;DEL
 
3. Using the following DSCOPY syntax (an error will occur but the file
        will be deleted):
 
        DSCOPY *A;$NULL;FCODE=-400
 
        :DSCOPY *A;$NULL;FCODE=-400
          Source file: I0038.DATA.....
          Target file: $NULL
          UNABLE TO ACCESS TARGET FILE/DEVICE.  (NS/NFTERR 48)
 
          END OF SUBSYSTEM
        :LF I0@,2
         LISTF I0@,2
         NO FILES FOUND IN FILE-SET (CIWARN 431)
 
There is also a way by using 'DBDRIVER.PUB.SYS' but I cannot remember at
the moment how. (I think though that DBDRIVER can only purge what are
referred as image 'I' files).
