John, In your case, yes that is what it means. Look up the retention control statements in the TLMS manuals. You have 2 locations described by this line, in 5DC0001, you are using days to control the time it stays here (5), the location is DC, and it is sticking around 1 day. In the second case, the retention criteria is still days, at location NB, and a tape stays there 3650 days until it falls off, and it then at the end of its retention so the tape is scratched.

I looked at the doc for an answer but unfortunately I came up empty. Could someone help me out? RTN-SCHED(2) BY RMF 5DC0001 5NB3650 I am not sure what the 5NB3650 denotes? Does the 3650 means that the tape is kept for 3650 days?
