Thank you all for your reply. I am learning from the explanations provided. The datasets are sequential files that have an associated management-class and they all have a LIMIT required by our legal and auditing department in most cases and the business departments in some other cases. I am given a HLQ (high level qualifier) and I am expected to provide a report with the following headings: HLQ Dataset CreationDate ExpirationDate
Each HLQ produces thousands and thousands of datasets with some cases in the million.

As others have said, calculating the specific date a dataset will expire is more complicated than first glance would expect.
