This would give you list of file ordered by expiration date. So you can see which file "wants" to go away. Of course this returns huge output and for real work some groupping has to be done (for example on node_name,description). However be aware that when files are going to different mgmtclasses through inclexcl list the classes might have different archive retensions and you will have to use min(ar_copygroups.retver).

Matt - From my notes at http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts : Archived files, rebinding does not From the TSM Admin. manual, chapter on occur Implementing Policies for Client Data, topic How Files and Directories Are Associated with a Management Class: "Archive copies are never rebound because each archive operation creates a different archive copy. Archive copies remain bound to the management class name specified when the user archived them." (Reiterated in the client B/A manual, under "Binding and Rebinding Management Classes to Files".) Beware, however, that changing the retention setting of a management class's archive copy group will cause all archive versions bound to that management class to conform to the new retention. Note that you can use an ARCHmc to specify an alternate management class for the archive operation.
