The "Max.entries to be kept" input option does not include short dumps that have been marked as KEPT in ST22. The SQL delete statement in RSSNAPDL ignores short dumps marked as KEPT. In other words, you will need to mark short dumps as KEPT before you reorganize the short dumps otherwise you run the risk of losing them.

To automatically mark all short dumps as KEPT, I think you would need to write some bespoke code to set field XHOLD = 'X' in table SNAP or use batch input, for example.

Bear in mind that if you have a lot of short dumps, you will need very large amounts of space for table SNAP. In fact, some installations limit the amount of space that can be allocated to table SNAP just in case there are many short dumps in a short period of time due to a system error, for example. It is unusual to keep short dumps for long periods of time.
