Causes the Catalog to be searched to locate the data set. This greatly
improves efficiency because only the volume recorded in the Catalog as

searched for the desired file. It can be a generic volser. For example,
VOL=WRK*** searches all volumes whose VOL1 begins with WRK.

desired file. The poolid specified must be defined as a virtual volume with the
COMPOOL option record.

EXPDATE=yy/ddd|yyyy/ddd
Changes the file's expiration date to the one you specify here (yy or yyyy is
the year, and ddd is a day of that year). To designate the file as expired,
specify an expiration date that is less than the current one. To extend a file's
retention period, increase the expiration date.
PERM Changes the file's expiration date to 2099/366.
RETAIN Changes the file's expiration date to 2099/365.
DSFON|DSFOFF
