The RETRO parameter is used to control situations where the computer has not been working for a day or more due to hardware failure, holiday, and so on.
When such situations occur, it is necessary to instruct Control-V whether or not the report decollating mission should be retroactively scheduled for the days when the computer (or Control-V) was inactive. You should only set RETRO to Y if the job which creates the reports is to be run for the days that the computer was down.
When RETRO is set to Y, report decollating missions are placed in the Active Missions file for all the days the report decollating mission should have been originally scheduled. Scheduling occurs from the last scheduling date to the current working date, only if those days were included in one of the Basic Scheduling parameters (DAYS, DCAL, and so on). Each report decollating mission placed on the Active Missions file is associated with a different original scheduling date. For additional information, see MAXWAIT: Basic Scheduling Parameter (decollating mission).
When RETRO is set to N, the report decollating mission is only scheduled for the current working date, only if the report decollating mission is normally scheduled for that date.
RETRO cannot be used with the MINIMUM and PDS parameters.
