RETAIN Command
Description RETAIN completes the following tasks:
Alters an expiration date, a creation date, or a creation job name
for a specific version. If the version is not in active status, it is set
to active status. RETAIN specifies that a version is a
TSIDOFL-created tape backup, not an offload of a Start Track 1
disk DSN created by TSIDOFL.
Specifies that a version resides on an FSI Faketape device.
If an Automated Cartridge Library (ACL) is supported, RETAIN changes
the tape volume to non–scratch status in the ACL inventory. RETAIN
also changes the status of a version from scratch, open, or conditional
catalog to active status.
If ENC has been used to specify an encryption algorithm for this dataset,
RETAIN will not change the Creation Date or Job Name. See
UPDATE
Command for additional information.
