No, or I've misunderstood the FDR doc. If you specify catalog retention against the two TAPE DD's, FDR doesn't assign an expire date to the archive dataset. The archive will exist until it is uncataloged. That's why I need two archive steps. One does the NOLIMITs (that FDRABR flat interprets different than HSM) and the other does all the other MGMTCLAS's. The whole backup/archive job has around 40 or 50 steps. A combination of FDRREPORT, REXX, SORT, DCOLLECT, and FDRABR steps. I can't decide if it's kludgy or elegant :) If I'm wrong, I'd like to here about it soon. What I don't have as yet is a useful equivalent to HSM recycle. But I'm using virtual tape with 99,999 available volumes.
