By "generic," do you mean files with concealed file names?  I originally
had in FSV FILELIST a file called FSLOOKUP EXEC which was stored with
identifier 00000006 FSV.  Subsequently I deleted it with LSVPUT (DELETE.
Indeed, file 00000006 FSV is gone from LSV's 200 disk.  But the following
still is present in FSV FILELIST:
 
  FSLOOKUP EXEC       ALL CTL .       .     0 ........ ........ Directory
 
The relevant entries in FSV FILLID are as follows:
28
*DEFAULT* X5/200 GETLOG
FSLOOKUP EXEC 00000006 FSV F5/200 GETLOG
 
(GETLOG is a LSV GET logger.)
