CA Dynam for VSE User Guide

Processing Expired Files
If the retention/expiration specified on the DLBL statement is nonzero and is
greater than the current date, then that value is used by CA Dynam/D.
Example:
// DLBL DTF,'DSN',2099/365,SD
// EXTENT SYS001,VOLSER,,,1,100
If the retention specified is zero, or the expiration is less than or equal to the
current date, the DEFRET value from the DYNAM/D option record is used.
Example:
// DLBL DTF,'DSN',67/001,SD
// EXTENT SYS001,VOLSER,,,1,100
Using the Catalog
In the following examples, the CA Dynam Catalog is being used and only a
DLBL statement is supplied:
If the retention/expiration specification is omitted from the DLBL statement,
then the retention/expiration date specified in the Catalog is used. If the
retention/expiration dates are omitted from both the DLBL statement and the
Catalog, then a default of seven (7) days retention is used.
Example:
// DLBL DTF,'DSN',,SD
If the retention/expiration specification on the DLBL statement is nonzero and
is greater than the current date, then that value is used by CA Dynam/D.
Example:
// DLBL DTF,'DSN',2099/365,SD
If the selected retention/expiration specification from the DLBL statement or, if
omitted, from the Catalog is less than or equal to the current date, then the
DEFRET value from the DYNAM/D option record is used.
Example:
// DLBL DTF,'DSN',0,SD
