Mike,
I understand that, for cataloged datasets, the WHILECATALOG keyword, specified
in a single VRS or in a VRS chain, always wins. Am I correct ?
Ever since we migrated to rmm, we have:
a) RETPD(5) in EDGPRMxx and
b) one VRS defined as: dsname('**') WHILECATALOG LOCATION(HOME)
with this setup, a cataloged dataset with a given RETPD/EXPDT will never be
deleted.
If I want RETPD/EXPDT to be honored for a dataset, and want to stick to VRSEL
retention method, I suppose I need to change:
a) RETPD in EDGPRMxx from 5 to 93000 (keep the data almost forever)
b) update my only VRS as: dsname('**') UNTILEXPIRED LOCATION(HOME)
Or, I change the global retention method from VRSEL to EXPDT, and still need to
change
a) RETPD in EDGPRMxx from 5 to 93000
Are my assumptions correct ?
