General Information

The retention attributes of the operating system are derived from a combination of Retention Limit and Expiration attributes (if the Control-M/Tape/DFSMS interface is active) and JCL EXPDT/RETPD parameters. The DO OVERJCL statement can be used to indicate if the retention specified in Control-M/Tape rules should override operating system retention.

For more information about JCL EXPDT/RETPD parameters, see "Defining Management Class Attributes" in the IBM manual DFSMSdfp Storage Administration Reference.

If no DO OVERJCL statement is specified in a rule, the value specified for Control-M/Tape installation parameter OVERJCL determines whether operating system retention is overridden by retention specified in Control-M/Tape rules.
