EDG2428I
NUMBER OF EXPDT RETAINED VOLUMES TO BE DROPPED = number percent%

Explanation

DFSMSrmm issues this message to the MESSAGE file during inventory management expiration processing. EXPDT retained volumes can be managed by either the EXPDT or the VRSEL retention method. This message is issued for information only.

In the message text:
number
This is the number of physical and logical volumes to be removed from EXPDT retention. This number includes volumes that were expiration retained because RETAINBY(SET) and another volume was EXPDT retained. Volumes removed from VRS retention during this process and those newly assigned are excluded.
percent
This is the number of physical and logical volumes removed from EXPDT retention expressed as a percentage of the physical and logical volumes retained by expiration date at the start of EXPROC processing.

System action

DFSMSrmm EXPROC inventory management processing continues based on the action value specified for the EXPDTDROP parmlib option. If the EXPDTDROP limit is reached, the EDGHSKP return code is set based on the EXPDTDROP action:
  • For FAIL, the return code is 12 and no volumes are dropped from EXPDT retention and no volume updates occur as a result of VRSEL or any other inventory management processing. VRSEL data set updates have been completed.
  • For WARN, the return code is 4.
  • For INFO, there is no effect on the return code.

Operator response

None.

System programmer response

You can use this information to help determine a good setting for the EXPDTDROP parmlib option. If the limit is reach, review the inventory management processing to determine if an error occurred and why the limit is reached. If the limit is triggered incorrectly, you might have to adjust your limit.
