Retention period specification - Key = '0023'
DALRETPD specifies the number of days that must pass before the data set can be deleted or overwritten by another data set. It is mutually exclusive with the expiration date (DALEXPDT) and SYSOUT (DALSYSOU) keys. When you code DALRETPD, # must be one, LEN is the length of the retention period (minimum of 2, maximum of 3), and PARM contains the retention period. The maximum PARM value is X'16B48' or 93000.
Example: To specify a retention period of 10 days, code:
KEY # LEN PARM
0023 0001 0002 000AExample: To specify a retention period of
93000 days, code:
KEY # LEN PARM
