EXPDT

Specify the EXPDT date in the descriptor for the named output descriptor to set an expiration date for the current unload data set.

The value of date must be in the format yyyyddd or yyyy/ddd, where yyyy is the 4-digit year and ddd is the 3-digit Julian day (000 through 365 for a nonleap year, and 000 through 366 for a leap year). The number 99000 specifies that the tape data sets have no expiration date.

Specifying the default

You can specify the default for the EXPDT command option in your installation options module by using the EXPDT installation option. UNLOAD PLUS was shipped with a default value of 99000, indicating no expiration date, for this option; however, the value might have been changed during installation. When you specify the EXPDT command option, EXPDT overrides RETPD. If you specify the RETPD command option, RETPD overrides EXPDT in the installation options module.
