UDAT Determine Age from User Date (PLAM)

UDAT PLAM Libraries: The Age indicator in an element list will be determined from the User Date. Standard: UDAT.

Notes:

When reorganising PLAM libraries, the Creation Date of all elements will be set to the current date (AGE=0). The User Date of the elements will not be affected by the reorganisation. To maintain relevant age indicators even during library reorganisation, use the UDAT mode.

When adding a file as an element to a PLAM library, CFS will set the element User Date to the file creation date. This can result in newly-created elements appearing in the file list (in UDAT mode) with an AGE > 0. The time column (time of the last amendment) will be set to 00:00, since TSOSCAT maintains only a creation date, and not the time.
