Examples of the RETAIN keywords

Example 1: RETAINS and RETAINF 
//OUTRETRY OUTPUT RETAINS='0001:00:00',RETAINF='0002:00:00'

In this example the functional subsystem will not release the data set to JES until one hour after a successful transmission. If the data set was not successfully transmitted, the subsystem will not release the data set to JES until two hours after the last unsuccessful transmission attempt.

Example 2: RETAINF Only 
//OUTRETRY OUTPUT RETAINF='0003:00:00'

In this example the functional subsystem will retain the data set for three hours following a failed transmission before releasing it to JES.
