Expiration date

 

The EXPDATE parameter specifies an expiration date for each member in a physical file (ADDPFM, CHGPFM, CRTPF, CHGPF, CRTSRCPF, and CHGSRCPF commands).

If the expiration date is past, the system operator is notified when the file is opened. The system operator can then override the expiration date and continue, or stop the job. Each member can have a different expiration date, which is specified when the member is added to the file.
