Syntax

LABEL=([data-set-sequence-number][,label] [,PASSWORD][,IN ][,RETPD=nnnn      ])
                                 [,     ] [,NOPWREAD][,OUT][,EXPDT={yyddd   }]
                                          [,        ]      [       {yyyy/ddd}]

          label is one of the following:
              AL
              AUL
              BLP
              LTM
              NL
              NSL
              SL
              SUL

The first four subparameters are positional; the last subparameter is keyword. If you omit any positional subparameters but code a following positional subparameter, indicate each omitted subparameter by a comma. If the following subparameter is one of the keyword subparameters (EXPDT or RETPD), you do not need commas to indicate omitted subparameters. For example:

LABEL=(0001,SUL,PASSWORD,IN)
LABEL=(,SUL,PASSWORD)
LABEL=(,SUL,,IN,EXPDT=97033)
LABEL=(,,PASSWORD,EXPDT=1997/033)
LABEL=(,SUL,EXPDT=1997/033)
LABEL=(0001,,,IN)
LABEL=(0001,EXPDT=1997/033)

If you specify only the data-set-sequence-number or only the retention period or only the expiration date, you can omit the parentheses. For example, code LABEL=data-set-sequence-number, LABEL=RETPD=nnnn, LABEL=EXPDT=yyddd, or LABEL=EXPDT=yyyy/ddd.

Alternate syntax for RETPD and EXPDT: RETPD and EXPDT should be specified as DD parameters rather than subparameters of the LABEL parameter. This allows you to specify a retention period or expiration date without the need to code LABEL.For example, code RETPD and EXPDT on the DD statement as:

RETPD=366 or EXPDT=2006/033

See the DD RETPD parameter described in RETPD parameter, and the DD EXPDT parameter described in EXPDT parameter.
