Expiration date specification (short form) - Key = '0022'

DALEXPDT specifies the date when the data set can be deleted or overwritten by another data set. This key is mutually exclusive with the long form of the expiration date (DALEXPDL), the retention period (DALRETPD), and SYSOUT (DALSYSOU) keys. IBM® recommends that you use the DALEXPDL rather than DALEXPDT to specify an expiration date.

When you code DALEXPDT, # must be one, LEN must be five, and PARM contains– five digits a two-digit year value and a three-digit day value (yyddd).

Example: To specify an expiration date of January: 1, 1985 (85001), code

KEY   #     LEN   PARM
0022  0001  0005  F8 F5 F0 F0 F1
