Example 5: recovery period of image copy data sets

Example 5 describes what happens when the recovery period specified by the RECOVPD parameter has been exceeded, the number of image copy data sets is under the GENMAX value, and REUSE=N.

The following table shows the DBRC keywords and their values for this example:

REUSE GENMAX RECOVPD
N Not Reached Exceeded
DBRC records a new image copy data set in the RECON data set. Even though the oldest image copy is beyond the recovery period, it will not be deleted because the GENMAX has not been reached.
