TAPE EXPIRATION DATE WAS NOT SPECIFIED. CALCULATED DATE OF (yyddd) WAS USED

Reason:

An expiration date was not specified for the archive tape in use. The implicit VSAM support calculates a tape expiration date by examining the RETPD values specified on all of the ARCHIVE and BACKUP commands specified in the job step. If a command is entered without the RETPD parameter, sysparm RETRETPD is used to determine a default value for that command. The highest RETPD value among all the commands is added to the current date to determine the tape's expiration date, which is (yyddd). This message is informational only. No user action is required.
