No, you can't put different File and Job Retentions in the Scheduler.

Setting them to 99 years might be OK.  It won't keep all the records for 99
years, because the shortest retention (from Volume, File and Job) controls
what is kept for each job.  When the Volume Retention is reached for a volume,
all the job and file records are removed for that volume, so this will happen
every month for the disk volumes and every 12 months for the month-tapes.
