CYCLE Command

Description CYCLE is a special command for overriding the normal Cycles Retention

(CYC) of a dataset. CYCLE causes one version to be removed from the

Cycles Retention logic. The cycled version is scratched only on the basis

of the retention period. For example, you might use the cycled version to

isolate the correct balance sheet from a series of trial balance runs.

CYCLE looks very similar to RETAIN. Both commands affect a single

version, but a retained version continues to participate in any cycle

retention that is defined for the dataset, while a cycled version does not.

When you use CYCLE, the version is:

 Removed from Cycles Retention for the dataset. As a result, the

version no longer counts as a version in the cycle retention logic.

 Retained until the expiration date you specify.

For example, if the dataset has CYC=3 retention and you CYCLE one

version, BIM-EPIC maintains four versions until the cycled version

reaches its expiration date, the cycled version plus three normal versions.

Versions which have been cycled in the past are retained until their

expiration date.

CYCLE also allows you to change the creation date and the creation job

name. These two fields have no effect on dataset retention.

If ENC has been used to specify an encryption algorithm for this dataset,

CYCLE will not change the Creation Date or Job Name. See

UPDATE

Command for additional information.

Syntax The following is an example of the CYCLE command syntax.

CYCLE 'dataset-name',{VER=n|SER=volser|GEN=n}

{,EXD=yyyyddd|,DAY=n|,CDT=yyyyddd|,JOB=new-name}
