Re: To Mapics backup or not to Mapics backup?

I'd like to thank everyone for their responses...

I've decided to start running the Mapics Backup every night and used the
post command to submit the cl program I wrote to save the other libraries
and files to tape.

We don't have anything other than Mapics on our AS/400 so if they aren't
in Mapics they aren't doing anything else so I'll keep ending QINTER.

Now my next question may be a bit more complicated...

Everything I know about writing a CL program I've learned from picking
out bits and pieces of information from the book " Control Language
Programming for the AS/400 2nd edition". I haven't had the chance to go
through the book cover to cover so needless to say I've only learned as
much as I've needed to get done what I need to do. This is our first AS/400
and all of my experience until we got this was on Vaxes running VMS.

So how would you do this....

Also.. how would I run the Application Log report from a Cl program in the
pre-backup
command file? We don't have 3rd shift AS/400 Operator that can do this stuff and
I don't really relish the idea of logging in from home in the middle of the 
night
just to
get an Application Log report. I'd like to get a print out of this, but the 
Mapics
backup
clears the file each time it runs.

Thanks for all of the help!
