My apologies - The database space does indeed exist - I ran the create
database space command merely to show
that IDS thinks that it exists - then when I try to drop it IDS reports that
it does not exist.
I did try 'onspaces -d dbs_temp' - and IDS returned the message that the
space does not exist.
Thanks,
Ben
