Hi Tom,
I don't see a record of support being contacted on this, so I only have
this information to go on.
Section 51.01 is the ABR Archive section that discusses the options for
Archiving. In the SMS-Managed Volumes section, it references Section 70
to review in addition to Section 51. Section 70.12 'Archive Expiration'
addresses most of the different scenarios that can occur. The
expiration dates can come from the DSCB, the SMS Management Class, or
lastly the default of 365 if ABR cannot calculate the date from other
sources. Without seeing the SMS Management Class settings and the
operands specified on the ABR Archive, I would have to guess that the
SMS Management Class attributes of "EXPIRE AFTER DAYS NON-USAGE' and
"EXPIRE AFTER DAYS/DATE" both have a value of NOLIMIT. When this is the
case, then the expiration is set to the normal ABR COPY2 expiration
which is 365 days.
If you are specifying SMSEXPIRE=YES, I'd suggest using SMSEXPIRE=PRT to
get the calculations showing how the expiration dates are calculated
using the Management Class criteria. Refer to Section 70.12 for this
information.
You can contact me directly or anyone in support for further assistance
with this.

Is anyone using FDRABR to archive SMS managed datasets? The doc says
that the COPY1 expiration date is calculated using the F1 DSCB Last Ref Date
and the MGMTCLAS LEVEL 1 Days Non-Usage if there is not a specific RETPD
specified for the dataset. I do a simulate and datasets with no RETPD
specified are getting a years RETPD in the archive file. Any thoughts?
