Description

S (SIMPLE)

Search for volumes from the same pool only. Data sets and volumes intended for vaulting are not eligible for stacking.

V (VAULT)

Search for volumes from the same pool that have a vaulting pattern similar to the data set to be stacked. If the data set is to be vaulted, only volumes that have the same vault pattern are considered. If the data set is not to be vaulted, only volumes that are not to be vaulted are considered.

R (RETENTION)

Search for volumes from the same pool that have a retention date that is the same or later than the retention date of the data set.

Note: A permanent retention data set can be stacked on a volume only if the last data set on the volume has permanent retention.

A (ALL)

Satisfies the requirements of both V and R (described above).

Only one DO STKMODE statement can be specified per rule.
