Example 2—Defer the Archive of Data Sets

Data sets JAN.STATS and FEB.STATS are to be archived, but they should be placed in the archive queue to be processed together with other archive requests. They are to be scratched and uncataloged at the time of archival. The archive copies are to be kept for 60 days.

//jobname JOB (acct,info),etc.
//         EXEC ARCHIVE
//SYSIN     DD  *
DARCHIVE DSN=JAN.STATS,RETPD=60
DARCHIVE DSN=FEB.STATS,RETPD=60

Scratch and uncatalog are default actions. Note that these commands will result in no tape mount. The requests are merely placed in the archive queue in the CA Disk FILES.
