Vaulting with OR Conditions

If a tape is to be moved from a vault based on more than one criterion, OR processing logic can be used:

DSN=ABC
V=VLT1,C=3,EXP

This pattern directs VMS to hold data set ABC in VLT1 for either three cycles (C=3) or until the volume expires (EXP). Only one of the criteria must be met for VMS to move the volume to the next location. In the example above, the volume is returned to the library.
