Deletion of Journal Receivers

[William_Milyard@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

We're trying to prevent journal receivers from being deleted before we 
want them to be deleted.  We need to keep receivers for several days, 
however, no matter what we've tried, there are always 12 receivers for 
this journal.

The application that uses the journal has a job that can be called at 
specified intervals to clean up receiver but we disabled the job several 
months ago so it can't be deleting them.

I've tinkered with the journal settings, however, nothing affects their 
removal.  The journal settings that I thought would control deleting 
receivers was originally set as follows: MNGRCV(*SYSTEM)  DLTRCV(*NO) 
RCVSIZOPT(*NONE)

I changed them to: MNGRCV(*SYSTEM)  DLTRCV(*NO) RCVSIZOPT(*RMVINTENT 
*MAXOPT2) 
and to MNGRCV(*USER)  DLTRCV(*NO) RCVSIZOPT(*RMVINTENT *MAXOPT2) 
but no combination of these options works.  No matter the settings, as one 
receiver is created, the oldest is deleting leaving 12 receivers.

How can I gain control of when receivers are deleted? What am I missing?
