Problem
Due to the current design of BRMS, volumes cannot have an expiration date of any date after 12/31/2038.
Resolving The Problem
Due to the current design of BRMS, volumes cannot have an expiration date of any date after 12/31/2038. If it is necessary to have a volume active for a date after 12/31/2038, users must mark the volume as a *PERM.
Changing the expiration date for a volume to xx/xx/2039 results in the following message:
Message ID . . . . . . : BRM1771
Message . . . . : Date 12/31/39 is not valid.
Cause . . . . . : Version retention changes are not allowed at the volume level.
Recovery . . . : To change version retention use option 13, Display contents, to change the files on the volume.
Changing the expiration date for a volume to xx/xx/2040 or greater results in the volume expiring.
Note: In releases IBM i 7.2 and later, BRMS supports creating media with an expiration date between 1990-2089.
