Long-term plan (EQQLTDS)

The long-term plan (LTP) is created from the AD, calendar, and period databases. The LTP data set is a VSAM file that is created and updated in any of the following ways:

• Create long-term plan. This creates the initial LTP.
• Extend long-term plan. This extends the LTP by appending new information to it. Depending on the value that you specify for the LTPDEPRES keyword of the BATCHOPTS initialization statement, extending the LTP will either leave the information in the existing LTP period unchanged or modify the old part of the plan.
• Modify or replan the long-term plan. This reorganizes the entire LTP, modifying it with new information from the AD, calendar, and period databases.
