Warning

Note

ICRETPD (0) is not allowed in the global or database-specific options modules.

You can specify either ICRETPD or ICEXPDT, but not both.

Error
Warning

If you use ICRETPD(0) with dynamic allocation, you could lose your output image copy. In most installations, ICRETPD(0) indicates that the output tape is a work tape that can be overwritten immediately. Your installation's standards for ICRETPD(0) might differ.

When you use dynamic allocation and you do not specify the ICRETPD or ICEXPDT keyword, your installation’s standards for retention period apply.

For a description of the ICEXPDT keyword, see ICEXPDT. For more information about dynamic allocation, see Dynamic-allocation-of-image-copy-data-sets.
