Gary...

The retain parameters only "rule" in ADSM V3 servers.
On TSM 3.7 it works differently. The version parameter "rules"
.....and that's why I asked whether anything changed??

Clarence,

        You have the same view that I did until the light came on.  Yes,
the
"retain" parameters really rule.  They are the point at which "inactive"
files become "obsolete" files.  Versioning parameters only determine when
an
object becomes "inactive" - not "obsolete".  Only "obsolete" files are
truly
removed from *SM.  If you want files to disappear from *SM when the
"version" parameters apply, change the "retain" values to zero.

        This is kind of a safety valve for users who misjudge file activity
and how many versions to keep.

        There is another parameter that may also have an effect on this
apparent "problem".  Look at the "define domain" syntax and you'll find
that
there are parameters at the domain level (across all clients in the domain)
that also affect retention.

        Just big brother looking out for us poor dumb hicks, I guess.
