Ron, So you need a way to have the tape data sets retained for only 1 day and the DASD for 4 days. You can do that with a VRS in RMM. RMM AS DSNAME('DBP1.TEST.D%%%%%.T*.**') DAYS COUNT(1) RELEASE (EXPIRYDATEIGNORE) This will override any DB2 specified RETPD and keep the data set for 1 day since creation. You might need to consider COUNT(2) depending on when in the day/night these are created and when you run VRSEL and EXPROC.
