CA 1 EXPDT Keywords

The following list shows the JCL Julian format of CA 1 EXPDT keywords and the corresponding CA 1 batch and online keyword expression of these values.

ZEROS

A date with an internal value of zeros is always displayed as zeros. However, the date can only be entered as any number of 0s, or the word ZEROS.

yyyy/ddd

Julian date format. The acceptable range of Julian dates is 1960/001 through 2155/366. CA 1 validates all input dates to help ensure that they fall within this range.

JCL EXPDT: yyyy/ddd

USER/uuu

This keyword allows you to create your own keywords for processing. CA 1 treats this as PERMANENT.

JCL EXPDT: 88uuu

CATLG/ddd

Retain ddd days, then retain while data set is cataloged to the operating system.

JCL EXPDT: 90ddd

FOREIGN

This is a nonresident tape, so do not update the TMC. This value is not stored in the TMC but appears in the Audit data set for type 3 (exception) records. CA 1 does not allow you to set the expiration of a data set to FOREIGN in a TMC record.

JCL EXPDT: 98000

LDATE/ddd

Retain ddd days after date on which tape was last used.

JCL EXPDT: 98ddd

CATLG or CATALOG

Retain while data set is cataloged to the operating system.

JCL EXPDT: 99000

CYCLE/ccc

Retain ccc cycles.

JCL EXPDT: 99ccc

PERM or PERMANENT

Retain data set permanently.

JCL EXPDT: 99365, 99366

STATS/sss

Status of held tape where sss is the reason code indicating why the tape is being held. This keyword has no JCL equivalent. It is set by programs through the SET_KEYWORD function, or is entered through the keyword format STATS/sss, to apply permanent retention (other than 99365) to an unknown situation, such as a broken chain.

STATS/001

The EXPDT in the JCL is less than the current date; therefore, set the EXPDT to STATS/001 to prevent the tape from scratching prematurely.

STATS/002

There is a multivolume chaining error. A TMC volume with this EXPDT is chained to a volume not in the TMC.

STATS/003

In RMM the EXPDT was 98000. In the conversion routine of RMM to CA 1, the EXPDT is set to STATS/003.

TATS/004

In RMM the EXPDT was blanks. In the conversion routine of RMM to CA 1, the EXPDT is set to STATS/004.
