Realtime Retention Assignment

The RMF schedule may be assigned in realtime by creating a memory resident retention table. This table will be created when CA TLMS is initialized or reinitialized and used by TLMSUPDT to assign a retention schedule when a tape is closed for OUTPUT. Add a DD statement for the RMF to the CAIRIM PROC to cause the optional table to be built.

Note: For information, see the Configuration Guide.
