Copying within long-term archives

Archive tapes can be reshuffled after a prolonged storage time in order to prevent the volumes becoming outdated. Copying these archive tapes can be restricted to those save versions whose file expiration date has not yet been reached. From HSMS version V12.0D it is also possible to initiate automatic deletion of the save file after the copying of the save versions.

//COPY-SAVE-FILE SELECT-SAVE-VERSIONS=*BY-ATTRIBUTES -
// (EXPIRATION-AFTER=<date>(INPUT-SAVE-FILE=*DELETE))

When a save version is copied the copy is assigned the original creation date of the original.

Save files in long-term archives cannot be copied to private disk.
