When you specify Y, you can omit nn and ss parameters as follows:
  • DYNA_RETRY=(Y,nn)
  • DYNA_RETRY=(Y,,ss)
Y
Retries dynamic allocation of database data sets.
N
Does not retry dynamic allocation of database data sets.
nn
Specifies the maximum number of retries in the range of 1 - 99. This value is effective when the first operand is Y. If you do not specify the maximum number of retries, the maximum number of retries is set to 5.
ss
Specifies the number of seconds, in the range of 1 - 99, to wait before IMS HP Image Copy retries dynamic allocation. This value is effective when the first operand is Y. If you do not specify this value, the retry interval is set to 5 seconds.
Default value
If DYNA_RETRY is not specified, the default value is DYNA_RETRY=N.

If DYNA_RETRY=Y is specified, the default value is DYNA_RETRY=(Y,5,5).
