Guy,
The errorlogretention parameter has been changed to be a dsm.sys parameter
rather than an dsm.opt parameter.   Just delete it from the default dsm.opt
and add it to dsm.sys.   If your users have their own dsm.opt files, spread
the word out to delete this statement from their dsm.opt files as well.
