RETpd days Option

Use the RETPD days option to specify the number of days to retain a tape after the date on which it was created. The tape expires after the specified number of days.

Values for days are numbers that, when converted to dates, do not exceed the maximum expiration dates for your TMC. If you want a tape to expire today, specify a retention period of zero.
