Massaki-san, you said....

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.
