Data Set Record

When a data set is copied, Control-M/Tape assigns various attributes to it. For example

• Creation date (the date the CTTSBD utility was run).
• Retention information (subject to active Control-M/Tape rules).

The CTTSBD utility can optionally be instructed to copy certain attributes of the input data set to the data set record of the output data set and to override the above settings. For more information, see the OUTRET and COPYATTR parameters in CTTSBD General Utility Parameters.

Note: Certain physical attributes of the output data set are not modified by the CTTSBD utility. These physical attributes include volume serial numbers label number, blocking and size.
