This parameter specifies the number of days to be maintained on tape when you are allocating a new tape data set.
The RETPD and EXPDT parameters are mutually exclusive. The most recently entered parameter (EXPDT or RETPD) takes precedence over the other. Specifying RETPD causes EXPDT to be set to spaces. If RETPD and EXPDT are specified together, EXPDT always takes precedence over RETPD with RETPD being set to spaces.
Syntax:
RETPD=nnnn
There is no default.
Valid values are 1-9999.
Important! Some tape management systems, such as CA 1, have abend dispositions for tapes. Make sure that your tape management system defaults to the catalog on an abend. Failure to do this can result in loss of data. Refer to your tape management system documentation for complete documentation.
