The PRETAIN Parameter and ERO Retention

The PRETAIN parameter controls what happens to a report after its total ERO retention has expired. It controls whether a report should switch back to standard retention or should it be deleted.

PRETAIN=TABLE/INIT

where:

INIT

INIT indicates that the report is to switch back to standard retention unless the ERO table entry for this report contains the DELETE parameter. When the DELETE parameter is not specified, the report is kept until it exceeds the NGENT/NGEND specification, then it is deleted.

TABLE

Indicates that the report is to be deleted.

Note: We recommend setting PRETAIN=TABLE
