Media Expiration Report (QP1AEP)

Running the maintenance command (STRMNTBRM) or specifically expiring media (STREXPBRM command) produces the Media Expiration report. This report shows the media that has expired as a result of that particular run. This report also indicates the total number of volumes in the inventory which are expired.

Note: If the ACTFILCNT parameter is 0, and you specify *REPORT in the ACTION parameter, BRMS produces a report and expires media with 0 active files. If the ACTFILCNT parameter is greater than 0, only a report is produced.
The following should be noted about this report:
  • The System field indicates the system name which wrote the first file to the tape.
  • The User field indicates the user who owned the job that wrote the first file to the tape.
  • The Total expired count field indicates the total number of volumes in the inventory which are expired.
  • The Use count field indicates the number of times the volume has been used.
