Re: TLMS QUESTION
Wow, The first data center I worked for was in North Bay, Ontario, Canada and all our production and development tape volsers were prefixed NB and DC, gave me quite a flash back.

Re: TLMS QUESTION
Howdy, I found this in a CA manual online. RTN-SCHEDRetention schedule applied by the RMF: (0) Volume cleared or not processed by TRS (1) Data center or first entry in the RMF rule (2) 2nd location in the RMF rule (3) 3rd location in the RMF rule (4) 4th location in the RMF rule (5) 5th location in the RMF rule (6) 6th location in the RMF rule - https://supportcontent.ca.com/cadocs/0/CA%20TLMS%20Tape%20Management%20r12%206-ENU/Bookshelf_Files/HTML/User/index.htm Regards, Neil Haley nha...@ca.ibm.com Storage Software Mainframe Support http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/ | http://www.about.me/NeilHaley From: John Dawes jhn_da...@yahoo.com.au To: IBM-MAIN@listserv.ua.edu, Date: 01/22/2014 07:00 Subject:TLMS QUESTION Sent by:IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@listserv.ua.edu G'Day When I inquire a volser on TLMS I see a value that I do not know what it signifies.

Re: TLMS QUESTION
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.
