Use the RETTYPE parameter in the CONVLCTL job to specify the retention type that must be assigned in dataset records created by the conversion tool. Table 34 describes the valid values.
Table 34 Retention Type Values for Parameters RETTYPE
Value |
Description |
|---|---|
P (Permanent) |
Dataset is retained "indefinitely." This retention type allows dataset or volume expiration to be done manually. This can be done using the EXPIRE option in the Control-M/Tape Inquire/Update screen (TI). |
C (Catalog) |
Retention is based on the existence of the dataset in the MVS Catalog. If an MVS Catalog still controls the dataset, the dataset is retained by Control-M/Tape. Otherwise, the dataset is expired by Control-M/Tape. |
Note: If a dataset was originally created with a specific expiration date, using the RETPD or EXPDT JCL keywords, that specific expiration date overrides the RETTYPE parameter.
