Tracy,

I wrote a command file that uses VEAUDIT to accomplish this task.  The
command file loops through all groups and accounts while doing a report on
the current group with the ONVS option.  It uses the HOMEVS value for the
volume set.  If an error occurs on the report then the group information is
listed with the option to purge.  I did not fully automate it because I  did
not want to inadvertently purge a group that should not have been purged.  I
use the disc space used field as a sanity check.  I have used it a couple
times and it has yet to prompt for a group I did not want purged:
