Range from 0 to 366
The value of nnn is specified in days with the INCIDENTLIMIT parameter. It may be any value in the range of 0 to 366 days. If the statement is invalid, a value of 120 days is used.
If the INCIDENTLIMIT option statement is omitted, a default of INCIDENTLIMIT 30 will be used.
The Operations Incident File (OPSOPI) in the Operations Information Area is only maintained in one cycle at the DETAIL level. When the file is updated as part of the
