Tape option descriptions

The Tape options are available when you select TAPE as the medium for the processed log data set. All of these options are invalid for disk.

Important

None of the Tape options are valid for copy 1. PACLOG always writes this copy of the processed archive log data set to disk.

The following table describes the Tape options:

Option

Description

RETPD

Specifies the retention period in days for the current log data set. The valid range is 0 through 9999. PACLOG does not provide a default.

EXPDT

Specifies the expiration date for a tape copy data set. The date must be in the format yyyy/ddd, where yyyy is the four-digit year and ddd is the three-digit Julian day (001 through 366). PACLOG does not provide a default.

Important

RETPD and EXPDT are mutually exclusive. If you specify neither of these options, an OS/390 or tape management system default may apply.

STACK

Specifies whether to stack the ARCHIVE x log data sets that are processed in this job contiguously on a new tape volume. STACK YES is the default.

TRTCH

Specifies whether to use the data compression feature in the tape drive for the current processed log data set. Use TRTCH COMP to enable data compression. Use TRTCH NOCOMP to disable data compression. If you do not specify TRTCH, an OS/390 or tape management system default may apply.
