RE: Go Save 21 question

Correct. Look into the ENDSBS BCHTIMLMT parameter. I've never used it, but at least at one time it was the way to end everything and save the system from a batch job.

QCTL never gets ended though does it? I have scheduled our nightly backup to run in that subsystem.

Daniel,

(Running V5R3, but the principles, IMHO, should stay the same).

The name of the program that is executed with GO SAVE 21 is, IIRC,
QMNSRBND. It is quite complex and I believe you would be better served
by just typing 21 (don't press enter) while in the GO SAVE menu and
then pressing the help key. The help text shows you all the commands
that are run under a GO SAVE 21 option.

I don't know if it can be run with a WRKJOBSCDE (never tried it), but
my best guess would be *no*, as a GO SAVE 21 implies the ending of
susbsystems, including, of course, QBATCH and its similars. In a worst
case scenario, you could just create a small CLP that recreates the GO
SAVE 21 options and just add a delay before it. Run it in your console
when leaving Friday afternoon.

HTH,

Good morning.

I have three questions. First, what is the name of the program that
is executed by the option 21? Now that we are on V7R1, I would like
to retrieve the source and customize it for our shop. My former boss
had a version that we still use, but he has retired, and I'm not
sure we're getting everything.

Second, can this new program be run through WRKJOBSCDE? I am getting

tired

of either staying late on Fridays or getting up early on Saturday to
do

my

full system saves.

Third, if I can't run this through the scheduler, is there a way to
set

up

a PC to act as the console and remote into it? We don't have budget
money for one of those HMC's you guys talk about.

Thanks
