Hi George, I believe we use the same approach (build backup job via REXX, as you see creating on-site and off-site backups), and our created job looks like this:
//ACT103 EXEC LRSTGBKP,PAC=ACT103 //* //SCT100 EXEC LRSTGBKP,PAC=SCT100, // VOLREF=',REF=*.ACT103.DFDSS1.TAPE1',FS=2, // OFFREF=',REF=*.ACT103.DFDSS1.TAPE2' //* //SCT101 EXEC LRSTGBKP,PAC=SCT101, // VOLREF=',REF=*.ACT103.DFDSS1.TAPE1',FS=3, // OFFREF=',REF=*.ACT103.DFDSS1.TAPE2' //* //ACT102 EXEC LRSTGBKP,PAC=ACT102, // VOLREF=',REF=*.ACT103.DFDSS1.TAPE1',FS=4, // OFFREF=',REF=*.ACT103.DFDSS1.TAPE2' //* .... etc The cataloged PROC is: //LRSTGBKP PROC PAC=NONE,DAYS='15',TAPE=TAPE,PRINT=*,VOLREF='',FS=1, // OFFREF='' //DFDSS1 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=&PRINT //DISK1 DD UNIT=SYSALLDA,DISP=SHR,VOL=SER=&PAC //TAPE1 DD DSN=PSSTG.OPER.BKP.&PAC, // DISP=(NEW,KEEP,DELETE), // BLKSIZE=0, // UNIT=(&TAPE,,DEFER), // LABEL=(&FS,RETPD=&DAYS), // VOL=(PRIVATE,RETAIN,,10&VOLREF) //TAPE2 DD DSN=PSSTG.OPER.OFF.&PAC, // DISP=(NEW,KEEP,DELETE), // BLKSIZE=0, // UNIT=(&TAPE,,DEFER), // LABEL=(&FS,RETPD=&DAYS), // VOL=(PRIVATE,RETAIN,,10&OFFREF) //SYSIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PRSTG.PERM.DATA(DFBACK) Best regards, David Tidy Tel:(31)115-67-1745 IS Technical Management/SAP-Mf Fax:(31)115-67-1762 Dow Benelux B.V. Mailto:dt...@dow.com >>> George Rodriguez <rodrigu...@palmbeach.k12.fl.us> 12/14/2009 12:10 PM >>> I've got a VTL (TS7720) and 2 3592 tape drives. A rexx exec was written, to use DFSMSdss to back up volumes for disk to the 3592. The problem is that the job is divided into 4 parts because of the step limitation. Is there a way of keeping the tape mounted and at the same position after job 1 completes? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
