Expiring Volumes and Data Sets

Option E (Expire) can be used to expire volumes (that have not been vaulted) or data sets. Specifying this option opens a confirmation window.

Immediate or deferred expiration can be requested. Deferred expiration changes the status of the volume or data set to Pend-Scratch, and the volume or data set is erased when retention management is performed during the New Day procedure.

Note: If the status of a volume or data set has been changed to Pend-Scratch through option E, the Pend-Scratch status can be removed without altering the expiration data through the Extend (X) option.

Expiring a Volume

When specifying Option E for a volume, the following window is opened:
