DATA SET NAME	DSN	This field contains the original data set name of the backup version.
FROM VOLUME	FRVOL	This field contains the volume serial number of the primary volume where the data set is when DFSMShsm makes the backup version. If the data set is migrated at the time of backup, this field contains the volume serial number of the primary volume from which the data set migrates.
BACKUP DATE	BACKDATE	This field contains the date the backup version has been created.
BACKUP TIME	BACKTIME	This field contains the time the backup version has been created.
UNS/ RET	UNS/RET	This field indicates special or exception conditions. UNS indicates that the data set was unserialized when backed up. RET indicates that the version listed is a retired version. U/R indicates an unserialized, retired version. NO indicates a version that is neither unserialized nor retired.
RET DAYS	RD	This field contains the RETAINDAYS parameter specified at the time of backup. The value represents the minimum number of days that DFSMShsm maintains the backup copy. *** indicates that RETAINDAYS was not specified.
