The SPIN statement is optional and specifies the retention period for the product's spin files.
rm
The SPIN statement is optional and specifies the retention period for the product's spin files.
The SPIN statement has the following format:
SPIN filename DAYS nn CYCLES nn
filename
VMXSCF, VMXPCF, VMXACF, VMXXSF, VMXVXF, VMXDCF, or VMXSCX.
nn
is the number of days or cycles of the retention period. The DAY080 step uses this value rather than the suspendlimit in the EXECDEF member of prefix.MICS.PARMS to determine the retention period. The default value for both DAYS and CYCLES is 01.
A SPIN file is not aged using the standard
MICS
aging macro. It only has a 01 cycle. To be deleted from the database, an observation of a SPIN file must have been in the file for the number of days specified and the number of cycles (DAILY runs) specified.
