Child table is: RET_DYN

Go to PENSIM input parameters overview

PENSIM:   RETIRE . id
Identifies retirement-timing parameters specified on this row of table, so id value should be unique.

Valid values: 1 to 999999999, Integer

PENSIM:   RETIRE . notes
Describes specification of table row in free-form note.

Valid values: any ASCII text, Memo (Note: do not copy and paste from a word processor because of the possibility of embedded non-ASCII characters.

PENSIM:   RETIRE . d_rnstrm
Specifies the random number stream used to determine whether or not an individual delays retirement at a given age.

Valid values: 0 to 59, Integer

PENSIM:   RETIRE . algorithm
Specifies which algorithm is used to simulate retirement timing. Algorithm 1 was used in benchmark runs for 2006 Trustees Report and before. Algorithm 2 is used beginning with benchmark runs for 2007 Trustees Report and after.

Valid values: 1 to 2, Integer

PENSIM:   RETIRE . ret_dyn_id
Points to row(s) in the child RET_DYN table, which specify the particular retirement parameters used in this run.

Valid values: 1 to 999999999, Integer
