Rob,
I agree with all of your points, but if you go into the 'Go Save'
menu, and take option 20, it will bring you to the Define save system and
user data defaults screen. You can then change the 'Prompt for Commands'
parameter from a 'Y' to a 'N', and the backup will simply go from one save
command to the next without prompting.

Subject: RE: Backup question
John,
As you can see by the confusion of some people as to what is included in a
SAVSYS, and,
by the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality of some people who are
still using their pre IFS backup programs,
I can see why IBM encourages a GO SAVE option 21.
Biggest problems I have with GO SAVE 21 are:
- the lack of logging of times on each step (see earlier comments on V6R1
- STRSBS at the end. Most times I do an IPL afterwards and I sure don't
want to do that. Also, I almost never prompt for commands. What a time
waster if you leave the room between steps.
