Example 7: Retaining generation data group data sets

Retain all copies of data sets that match the generation data group base name for 1 day prior to moving one cycle off-site to the STORAGE LOCATION VLT1. Retain 29 cycles of the data sets in the home location.

RMM ADDVRS DSN('HYMILLER.TEST.GDG')  -    /* Data set vrs                  */
           DAYS                      -    /* Retain for elapsed days       */
           GDG                       -    /* Data sets are GDGs            */
           LOCATION(HOME)            -    /* Where to retain               */
           COUNT(1)                  -    /* Number to retain              */
           STORENUMBER(1)            -    /* Number to retain              */
           NEXTVRS(N1)                    /* Name of next vrs              */
RMM ADDVRS NAME(N1)                  -    /* NAME vrs                      */
           CYCLES                    -    /* Retain by cycles              */
           LOCATION(VLT1)            -    /* Where to retain               */
           COUNT(30)                 -    /* Number of cycles              */
           STORENUMBER(1)                 /* Number to retain              */

Note: In the example, the GDG operand tells DFSMSrmm to use the GDG data set base name and the GnnnnVnnn. suffix for the data set name.
