Using the DAYS keyword

Use the DAYS keyword on the SET DEFAULT or SET command to control the number of 24-hour days of historical data to retain in the repository.

Error
Warning

If you code the DAYS keyword, do not code the CYCLES keyword.

The primary difference between using the DAYS and CYCLES keywords is that DAYS is an absolute number of 24-hour days, while CYCLES is a number of groups of data files (cycles) that contain a complete recoverable VSAM or sequential file.

Set the value of the DAYS keyword to the number (0 through 99999) of days you want to retain.

Warning

Note

The REGISTER LOG_OF_LOGS command does not use the default DAYS value that is recorded in the repository. When you specify the DAYS keyword for the REGISTER LOG_OF_LOGS command, the DAYS keyword applies to that execution only.
