You can use the CA-1 dialog that came with the product if you have access to it. Do an inquiry (option 1) for your tape, put a 'U' on the command line and overtype the date. Pressing enter will let you confirm it...
Hope that helps! -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Hare Sent: Friday, July 20, 2007 2:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: "Dumb" CA-1 question It's Friday and the brain apparently turned off, and RTFM isn't working well.... When running with CA-1 active, is it possible to reset the expiration date of an existing tape dataset via the EXPDT= parameter in JCL? Some of us thought that at one time it was possible, at least for single-dataset volumes... but others don't. The only thing I could think of would be to rewrite the dataset with DISP=OLD and a new EXPDT= but I can't see that you could do it without recreating the dataset - for example, by reading it and coding EXPDT= in the JCL.
