RETPD
Specify RETPD for the named output descriptor to set a retention period (in days) for the current unload data set.

The value of integer must be 0 through 9999.
Specifying the default
You can specify the default for the RETPD command option in your installation options module by using the RETPD installation option. When you specify EXPDT on the OUTPUT descriptor statement, EXPDT supersedes RETPD. However, if you do not specify EXPDT on the OUTPUT descriptor statement, but instead specify RETPD, RETPD overrides EXPDT in the installation options module.
