It does in ZARA EXPDT=99365 EXPDT=99366 EXPDT=1999/365 EXPDT=1999/366
Can all be specified in JCL Your tape management system may have some other internal designations that cam be used (e.g. ZARA has NEVER and PERM). Q. Anyone know what happens if you specify 2099/365 or 2155/365 ? Q. Anyone know if IBM will allow EXPDT=NEVER or some other keyword as they did with TIME= ? Q. Why the 2155 limit in JCL ? -----Original Message----- esmie moo Bob, I think your suggestion is correct. I will use the EXPDT=99365. Can this parm apply to non CA-1 tape management system? For example RMM? Bob Shannon I think you want EXPDT=99365. 99365 and 99366 indicate the tapes will never be scratched. I don't think you can specify permanent retention using RETPD.
