OA61415: EXPIRATION DATE SET FROM EDGRMMXX RETPD INSTEAD OF MC CLASS EXPIRE AFTER DATE/DAYS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In an RMM environment where MCATTR is set to ON or VRSELXDI, the
  expiration date can be set invalidly in cases where the
  expiration date would be taken from the Management class
  settings. When the RETPD value in EDGRMMxx is greater than the
  EXPIRE AFTER DATE/DAYS and the EXPIRE AFTER DAYS NON-USAGE
  values, as specified in the Management Class, the RETPD value
  from EDGRMMxx can get applied in error.
  
  This sets a longer expiration date than was intended by the
  Management Class settings. Expiration date set by the Management
  Class is intended to be the greater of the values specified in
  EXPIRE AFTER DATE/DAYS and the EXPIRE AFTER DAYS NON-USAGE
  fields. This APAR corrects the problem where the expiration date
  is supposed to be taken from the EXPIRE AFTER DATE/DAYS field
  but is overridden with RETPD value.

  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * All DFSMMrmm users having option MCATTR set to ALL or        *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * A data set is assigned a management class by an ACS routine. *
  * If the EXPIRE AFTER DAYS value specified in that Management  *
  * Class is less than the RETPD option in the EDGRMMxx parmlib  *
  * member, then the expiration date may be incorrectly set      *
  * based on the RETPD value rather than on the Management Class *
  * EXPIRE AFTER DAYS value.                                     *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
