Expanded Retention Option › Writing ERO Table Statements

Writing ERO Table Statements

ERO table statements are made up of SYSOUT IDs (including wildcards), parameters, and the values you set for those parameters.

Expanded retention table entries are input to the CA View started task using the SARPATAB DD statement. Expanded retention table statements are written as follows:

/sysout-id  {ALL|MARK|LAST}
            RETPD=nnnnn  GENS=nnnnn  COPIES=nnnnn 
            DRETPD=nnnnn DGENS=nnnnn DCOPIES=nnnnn
            IRETPD=nnnnn LRETPD=nnnnn
            STORGRP=storage-group-name
            DSK2DAYS=nnnnn
            DSK2NOTP
            D2RETPD=nnnnn
            REGDAYS=nnnnn
            VIEWTAPE={YES|NO}
            XCOND={YES|NO}
            EXCLUDE
            DELETE

• The data set can be either a sequential file or a member of a partitioned data set. The data set attributes should be Fixed or Fixed Blocked with a Logical Record Length from 80 to 256 characters in length. Code the slash in column 1 followed immediately by the SYSOUT ID.
• One or more blanks must follow the SYSOUT ID and separate it from the ERO table parameters.
• Parameters are separated by one or more blanks and/or commas, and can be specified in any order.
• A statement that exceeds the Logical Record Length minus 8 characters must be continued on additional statements. The last 8 columns of each logical record are reserved for statement numbering. When continuing a statement, interrupt the statement between complete parameters only, and omit the slash on the continuation statement.
• An asterisk in column 1 indicates a comment line.
