4.2.4.2.3 Database Cycle Retention Statement(Cycles)

The optional Database Cycle Retention statements define the
default number of cycles that will be retained for a file in
each respective timespan if the DBMODEL FILE statement is
missing or if a value has not been coded for a timespan.

or FOPT statement in cccGENIN.
 
The CYCLES statement is coded with the KEYWORD starting in
column 1, free-form, and continuing through column 72.
