F1EXPDT — Format-1 DSCB expiration date (date format)

Comparison dates can be entered in any acceptable CA Disk format. For all processing of non-VSAM data sets and VSAM components with "SCAN REALVOLS", the value of F1EXPDT is set to the value of the expiration date field DS1EXPDT in the format-1 DSCB for each data set or VSAM component. Missing or invalid values are assigned a value of 00/00/0000 or 0.

This selection criteria is only valid when using SCAN REALVOLS, it is ignored for SCAN CAT, unlike the EXPDT selection criteria, which is valid for both. Another difference between F1EXPDT and EXPDT selection criteria is that F1EXPDT can allow your CA Disk job to process more quickly. This is because F1EXPDT is set up to allow CA Disk to bypass some catalog processing.

Note: Restrictions exist involving special expiration dates. See EXPDT—Expiration date (date format).
