LDATE number Option

Use the LDATE number option to specify the number of days to retain a tape after the date on which it was last mounted. The tape will expire if it is not remounted within the specified number of days. The tape will never expire if it continues to be used within the retention period.

You can use this option to expire tape based on usage. Values for number are 1 through 364.
