Hi ADSM-ers,
We don't want applications to directly write to tape. That's why we have 
defined DEVTYPE=FILE in all our deviceclasses.
However, when a database backup is made, the output file never expires. The 
RETENTION parameter would be ideal for this, but for whatever reason ADSM 
development decided to make this paramater only available when you write to 
tape.
Has anybody encountered this same problem and how did they solve/bypass this?
I don't want to add additional high level qualifiers to my ACS routines.
We are running ADSM/MVS 1.2.09.
Thanks in advance for any reply!
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon
