Specify CA 1 Keywords

Listed below are the JCL Julian format of CA 1 EXPDT keywords and the corresponding CA 1 batch and online keyword expression of these values:

blank

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

Equivalent keyword: ZEROS

yyyy/ddd

Julian date format. CA 1 validates all input dates to ensure that they fall within this range.

Range: 1960/001 to 2155/366

Equivalent keyword: yyyy/ddd

Note: For more information, see Considerations.

88uuu

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

Equivalent keyword: USER/uuu

ACCODE: xCAUSER

90ddd

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

Equivalent keyword: CATLG/ddd

98000

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.

Equivalent keyword: FOREIGN

ACCODE: xCANORES

98ddd

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

Range: 0001 to 366

Equivalent keyword: LDATE/ddd

99000

Retain while data set is cataloged to the operating system.

Equivalent keyword: CATLG or CATALOG

ACCODE: xCACATLG

99ccc

Retain ccc cycles.

Range: 001 through 365.

Equivalent keyword: CYCLE/ccc

99365,99366

Retain data set permanently.

Equivalent keywords: PERM or PERMANENT

ACCODE: xCAPERM

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.

Equivalent keyword: STATS/001

The EXPDT in the JCL is less than the current date; therefore, CA 1 set the EXPDT to STATS/001 to prevent the tape from scratching prematurely.

Equivalent keyword: STATS/002

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

Equivalent keyword: STATS/003

The EXPDT in the TMC for the volume is updated as STATS/003 when ACCODE=xCANORES is specified in the JCL.

Note: An x in the first position of the ACCODE must be replaced by any letter.
