Hi Dennis,
Yes I recalled the default 5 day default retention as well.
Here are the DAF records for the file:

Here is the alleged JCL that referenced the file before it went scratch 5 days
later.
//COPY.SYSUT1 DD DSN=APA3JLC.PUBLIC.MASTER,DISP=SHR,
// UNIT=ETAPE
Not sure why they specify UNIT=ETAPE for a cataloged input file. But they claim
to have been doing this for years.
And before I forget, we are at Zos 1.9 with Jes2. File is not SMS managed.
Something else I find strange is the DISP=Oldshr in jobs RGWOPDOF and RGWOPMHF.
I checked the JCL and DISP=SHR is specified.

IIRC 5 days is the default hold before scratch for a catalog controlled
tape in order to prevent a catalog issue causing tapes to go scratch.
Look at catalog records (60-69) and see if the data set was uncataloged
prior to that date.
