++PTF(ASP1056) REWORK(2007204). /*---------------------------------- ASP1056 070717 ASEB200 OMCSDBEX Retention period is incorrect for special expdt values COPYRIGHT AUSTRALIAN SYSTEMS ENGINEERING PTY. LTD. 2007 _APARLIST: ASZ3445 070716 61VNAB MW ZSEX100 V100 INCORROUT OMCSDBEX 070716 S__1055 AMF D record has an invalid retention period if EXPDT=99000 is coded in _NOTES: JCL and tape management systems use special expiry dates to indicate special treatment of the dataset such as never expires or expires when uncataloged. These dates typically have a year value which is less than the current year. This was resulting in AMF D records with negative retention period values. This PTF addresses this problem by creating D records with the maximum possible retention period when the calculated retention is negative. When the backup dataset is no longer required and has been deleted these records can be removed by using the NOTCATLG option of OMCSAMUT. PTF ASP1047 added the following parameters to OMCSDBEX: OFN= OFT= : Specifies the filename and filetype of files to omit from this backup. These parameters can be generic. e.g OFN=INDEX* OFT=2006* will prevent any file whose filename begins with INDEX and with a filetype begining with 2006 from being backed up. RNG=(fromfn fromft,tofn toft) : Specifies a range of files to be backed up. The database directory contains all filenames in alphabetical order. The RNG parameter causes all files that are between fromfn fromft and tofn toft inclusive to be candidates for backup. Files outside this range will not be backed up. Files inside the range will only be backed up if they match the FN= FT= parameters and not the OFN= OFT= parameters. fromfn fromft and tofn toft do not have to be files that actually exist in the database. The arguments just determine a starting position and ending position for reading files names in the directory. Arguments to the RNG parameter can be generic i.e can end in a asterisk e.g. RNG=(A* #*,Z* #*). Each argument is padded with blank characters except when the arguments end in an asterisk. From arguments ending in an asterisk are padded with low values (x'00'). To arguments ending in an asterisk are padded with high values (x'ff'). Be aware that the arguments just determine the range of files that are possible candidates for backup. The actual files backed up are selected by the FN= and FT= parameters. Default values for FN= and FT= parameters are now set. They are FN=* FT=* */ ++VER(Z038) FMID(ASEB200) PRE(ASP1047,ASP0962,ASP0947,ASP0985) SUP(ASP1043,ASZ3445). ++MOD(OMCSDBEX). ++MOD(OMCSAMX1). ++MOD(OMCSAMUS). ++SRC(OMCSAMUT). ++MOD(OMCSAMUT).
