Posted: Wed 12 Mar 2014, 11:45
Do not use retention period or expiration date when you allocate data sets. From time to time the admins look for and delete any data set allocated using these parameters. You specify these parameters using
- EXPDT=yyyy/ddd or EXPDT=yyddd in JCL
- RETPD=nnn in JCL
- EXPDT(yyyy/ddd) or EXPDT(yyddd) in the TSO ALLOCATE command
- RETPD(nnn) in the TSO ALLOCATE command
- A value specified for Expiration date in the ISPF 3.2 Allocate New Data Set panel
