I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice or point me in the right
direction re HSM's 'EXPIREBV' I don't really understand how this works.  I
understand why it is required but don't really understand IBM's definition
of this.

We have this executing once per week but I don’t believe that it is doing
anything and need to understand the process to enable me to make the
correct resolution.

For example I ran the following command:

EXPIREBV DISPLAY NONSMSVERSIONS(UNCATALOGEDDATA(10)

and this produced a rather large output dset with the final tally being:

END OF DISPLAY - 00009577 BACKUP VERSIONS ELIGIBLE FOR EXPIRATION

I am not sure where or how to proceed from here.

I know I could run ‘EXPIREBV EXECUTE’ but I am not sure what it would get
rid off and how.

Any advice would be appreciated.
