I have a request.  I am working to try and get management to let me clean 
up some old tapes in preparation for a potential library replacement and 
they would like to know what other practices are.

What do other sites do for mainframe tape data retention for
files created either prior to a site implementing SMS policies for 
data retention or for sites that do not use SMS policies to manage their
default tape data retention? 

This would be more directed towards how long a file is kept after 
creation and would override default catalog control, but not EXPDT 
retentions.

Thanks
