EROOPT=YES|NO

For an existing database, EROOPT defaults to YES if Expanded Retention Initialization parameters exist or new Expanded Retention Initialization parameters are being set; otherwise, this parameter defaults to NO.

For a new database, EROOPT defaults to YES if Expanded Retention Initialization parameters are specified; otherwise, this parameter defaults to NO.

If using the SARINIT ARCHCHG=yyyy parameter to establish a baseyear, EROOPT must be set to YES.
