APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Customer has a concern about the AUTODELETE and the
RETPD (retention period) set in job BBORRSLS by skel BBORRSLS
Found the skeleton for BBORRSLS shows that a variable (&CFRRS)
is set for Coupling Facility Y or N.
In that skel a SEL is performed against &CFRRS,
if it = Y then AUTODELETE(YES) and retention period RETPD(2)
are set.
Customer believes the AUTODELETE(YES) RETPD(X) should be encoded
always. where X is an appropriate value.
(ATR.&RRSGRP..ARCHIVE has a RETPD(5) so perhapes that is also
(appropriate for the DASD only logstream as well.
(otherwise RETPD(2) seems appropriate
Local fix
Skeleton BBORRSLS can be altered manually as needed.

****************************************************************
The install dialog generates jobs which allocate the logstreams
for RRS, if the user is not already using RRS.  The generated
values for AUTODELETE() and RETPD() are different, depending on
whether the user selected CF or DASD based logstreams.  They
should be consistent between the two
Problem conclusion
The RRS archive log will use AUTODELETE(YES) and RETPD(5).  The
remaining four RRS logstreams will take the system logger
default value of AUTODELETE(NO).  When AUTODELETE() is set to
no, RETPD() is ignored.
