Process

RMF records are created from:

• Location control statements which describe each location
• Retention control statements which contain the retention instructions

A specific control statement is also provided to delete RMF records.

These control statements are input to the RMF update procedure CATRMFE.

RMF records are processed daily when TRS is executed.
