ARCDT — Last BACKUP/ARCHIVE date (date format)

Comparison dates can be entered in any acceptable CA Disk format.

Inspect the CA Disk FILES for the most recent backup or archive for the data set or cluster to set the ARCDT field. If the CA Disk FILES does not have a record of a backup or archive, this field contains 00/00/0000, or 0.

For example, to select data sets never backed up by CA Disk, use:

SELECT CRITERIA=(ARCDT,EQ,0)

To select data sets and clusters not backed up in the last 28 days, use

SELECT CRITERIA=(ARCDT,LE,TODAY-28)

Note: This selects data sets and clusters never backed up as well! Also, because of the need to inspect the CA Disk FILES, using this parameter can cause CA Disk processing time to increase substantially.

Also see sysparm DSNDUPVL, by default, CA Disk processing considers DSNINDEX records for data sets with the same name that reside on different volumes to be different data sets and handles them separately.
