Example 9: Using management value to retain data sets

Retain data sets for 50 days by assigning the keyword date 98050 to the data set. Use EDGUX100 to assign a management value of D98050 to the data set, based on the EXPDT=98050 JCL keyword.

Retain the two most recent 2 cycles of the data set and move them to the storage location STORE1. Retain older cycles in the home location for 50 days since creation.

RMM ADDVRS DSNAME('D98050')               -   /* Data set vrs              */
           DAYS                           -   /* Retain by elapsed days    */
           COUNT(50)                      -   /* Number of days to retain  */
           LOCATION(HOME)                     /* Where to retain           */
RMM ADDVRS DSNAME('USER.OFFSITE.DATA.**') -   /* Data set vrs              */
           CYCLES                         -   /* Retain by cycles          */
           COUNT(2)                       -   /* Number of cycles          */
           LOCATION(STORE1)                   /* Where to retain           */
