Before I actually do the upgrade, I was wondering, if it is just an erroneous 
message and it actually is purging on the 180 day job retention?

The reason I ask is last week I had reached a point where I needed to start 
re-using old volumes.  Which  I was able to resolve by adjusting the Volume 
retention time.  But I think when I did that it also overrides the job and file 
retention anyway, so it really was not a problem.

I think I will use bconsole and see if I can determine if the job and file 
retention times are being used as expected.

Thanks Again
