Hola Greg,

"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?"

Without the management class is it possible to specify expiration date for a
dataset ?, But What i understood from the IBM manual is that it needs
management class for setting expiration period for any dataset. In our shop
one of a user has specified expiration date for his dataset though we have
not set any management class. Could you please clarify

Jake
