OA55518: EDG4066I VOLUME VOLSER REJECTED, DATA SET ACCESS IS BLOCKED BY DSNEXPIRE, BUT THE SPECIFIED EXPDT IS A 18/06/01 PTF PECHANGE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• With the PTFs for OA54871 applied the EDGRMMxx option
  DSNEXPIRE(BLOCK) is preventing access to data sets with an
  expiration date of 12/31/1999.  This is a special date in RMM
  that should set the data set to never expire.
  .
  As an example, allocating a new data set via JCL with
  EXPDT=99365 can result in RMM not allowing access to the data
  set by incorrectly comparing the current date to the
  expiration date and not honoring 1999/365 as a 'never expire'
  value if VITAL RECORD SELECTION(VRSEL) has not yet been run
  and no RETENTION DATE has been set.

Local fix

• Remove DSNEXPIRE(BLOCK) from the EDGRMMxx parmlib member and
  restart DFRMM with F DFRMM,M=xx where XX is your parmlib suffix
