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.
