Turning Off Special Treatment of EXPDT Values

To turn off special treatment of all the EXPDT values described above (except for the expression EXPDT=98000), put a special DD DUMMY statement in the JCL. The DDNAME of this special DD statement is the value of the EXPDTDDN parameter in member CTTPARM.

For example, if member CTTPARM includes the expression EXPDTDDN=DD2000, the special DD DUMMY statement would be

//DD2000 DD DUMMY

When the JCL includes this special DD statement, Control-M/Tape treats all EXPDT values except 98000 as standard dates, without any of the special meanings described earlier. The expression EXPDT=98000 retains its special meaning.
