All, the various solutions given are the reason I suggested the OP contact CA Support. Since we have various solutions, and also the most important question, WHY?, I will try to explain some parts of TLMS Retention processing.
1. VOLUME level KEEPDATE/EXPDT values (UPV) are not used by TLMS retention processing, and only reflect the maximum KEEPDATE (determined at data set close by TLMS) or EXPDT (determined by EXPDT=\RETPD= in JCL. These fields are not updated by changes to data set KEEPDATE/ EXPDT updates by either TLMSTRS or manual/online updates. However, the fields may be tested in User Exits and reported upon using CA EARL. 2. Data set level EXPDT is only used by the retention system if there is no Retention Master File entry that matches the data set name of the CDS (Controlling Data Set). 3. Data set KEEPDATE will be used if the retention type assigned to the controlling data set uses the KEEPDATE (Types 2,3,B,C). 3. The only certain solution is to use the UPV vvvvvv,SCHED= command. It will never be changed by the Tape Retention System.
