Jake, I'm not sure the quoted answer you got was worded quite right - the ACS routines are called when data sets are allocated, so I don't think they can't be said to "track" anything.
Your original question was: "Does it mean the dataset has taken the expiration date into account ?" That's a bit confusing to me (and perhaps others, based on the lack of response) - could you clarify a little what you are asking about? Regards, Greg Shirey Ben E.

This would help me in understanding the best practises and narrow down the unneccessary Selection of Expiration of dataset by application programmer.
