 The value for numberOfDays can be from 0 to 180 days:

  • If you do not specify a number, the default value is 0.
  • If you specify 0: 
    • UID history records are not retained beyond the number of days specified in the OUTPUTAGE value.
    • UID history records are deleted if +DELETEOUTPUT(YES). 
      In this case, the product deletes the UID entry in the CKPT data set when the utility is completed.
Example
+UIDHISTORY(30)

The product retains the UID history records for 30 days.

Example
+UIDHISTORY(0)

Depending on the values specified for +OUTPUTAGE and +DELETEOUTPUT, the product:

  • Retains UID history records up to the value of +OUTPUTAGE
  • Deletes the records immediately if +DELETEOUTPUT(YES)
