EXPIREBV: Releasing the expire backup versions function

Explanation

EXPIREBV is an optional parameter specifying that DFSMShsm release the expire backup versions function. DFSMShsm starts processing any queued EXPIREBV commands.

Entering a RELEASE EXPIREBV command does not restart an EXPIREBV command that was in process at the time a HOLD EXPIREBV command was issued. To continue processing, you must reenter the EXPIREBV command. If the function is held when the command is reentered, the command will be saved by DFSMShsm and processed once the function is released.

Defaults

None.
