Massaki-san, you said.... >Thank you very much for informing me that COUNT(0) is available only above z/OS V1.9.
A customer wants to use both volume and data set name VRS. I don't know its detailed reason. The customer just ask us how to retain volumes by days. They also use data set VRSs. I guess that if a volume doesn't match data set VRSs, they want to retain the volume by volume VRS. > A: There are multiple ways to address the requirement, but knowing which would be best requires detailed knowledge about the customers situation and system release levels. You already have indicated that its an older, perhaps out of normal support release.... Using volume VRSes you can either use generic volume and rmm retains cycles - i.e. a number of volumes, or you can sue specific volume VRSes and rmm will retain based on DAYS. This is explained in the rmm G&R for ADDVRS subcommand. To retain by DAYS you also have options such as: - use the default retention period such as OPTION RETPD(5) - use a data set VRS with DAYS COUNT(5) - This requires that you know the data set names of the files you plan to place on those volumes.
