LABEL Parameter
Description Use the LABEL parameter to define the dataset retention. You can
specify an explicit expiration date or specify the number of days for the
dataset retention period.
The LABEL parameter overrides the CYCL and RETEN configuration
options. If a dataset is being autocataloged for the first time, the new EDD
will take the LABEL value. If a dataset is already cataloged, a new
version will take the LABEL value instead of the EDD value.
LABEL is valid only with DISP=NEW. If you specify LABEL=EXPDT
or LABEL=RETPD with DISP=(NEW,CATLG), the dataset is cataloged
as a generation dataset.
Syntax The following provides an example of a LABEL parameter syntax.
LABEL={EXPDT={yyddd or yyyy/ddd}|RETPD=nnnn}
Subparameters The following provides a description of the subparameters you can use
with the LABEL parameter.
Definitions The following provides definitions for the subparameters you can use
with the LABEL parameter.

Subparameter Definition
EXPDT Specifies an expiration date for a dataset. You must
enter the date in Julian format. For example, if the
date is December 31, 1992, enter 92365. If the date
is January 1, 2000 or later, you can specify the full
year with a slash between the year and the day. For
example, if the date is January 1,2000, enter
2000/001or you can omit the slash and enter
2000001.
RETPD Specifies the number of days to retain the dataset. If
the LABEL parameter is omitted or
LABEL=RETPD=7 is specified, the RETEN
configuration option value will be used. Otherwise,
the value specified will be used.
