the result.

Arthur,
You cannot take the snippets out of context. Each snippet is qualified.
Remember that rmm is always on your system (s/w delivered and installed as part
of z/os), you have to take steps to tell rmm that it turned on. Adding DFRM
susbsystem + EDGSSSI to IEFSSNxx turns it on fully. Adding
for rmm implementation or migration to rmm should have made
that clear.

Richard, Just chanced upon this question from you . and cant see any reply
yet, so will try to answer it.
You cannot mix RETAINBY volume and RETAINBY set for VRS retention. However that
does not really answer the question
What rmm will do for a "set" of volumes depends on what is
Its been a while since the question was asked, but here is a definitive answer.
Over z/OS R11, 12 and 13 new function was added in OPEN to improve recovery
from incorrect multi-volume processing.
RMM added support to exploit the new capabilities.
OPTCODE=B is a user way to control what happens.

To apply the VRS to a dataset you need to run inventory management (VRSEL), and
to get moves triggered i.m. DSTORE. Depending on when those are run there are
different ways to generate the pick list.
You probably dont need the first VRS with COUNT(1) - set it to go 'locdef' for
35 days, run
Radoslaw, yup, as well as that EDGUTIL reference, look at EDGUTIL SYSIN
statements which allows you to even process just a single volume

As specified in the rmm IC Guide Chapter 16. Performing inventory management -
You can backup direct to tape when using EDGHSKP utility BACKUP(DSS) parm.
Also, when you restore from tape, as long as you use EDGBKUP you will be able
to use an rmm backup tape even if rmm is not active.

Victor, IEC205I gets the TOTALBLOCKS from system control blocks. It should
