The control group calls the CLP program via *EXITs. Now just start the console monitor, submit the BRMS job to *CONSOLE and stand back.

Thanks, Jim.

How do you do that with a CL program, when restricted state gets involved?

What I mean is this. We have the Advanced Job Scheduler, which is used to
do the restricted state backups. The AJS job command is:

STRBKUBRM CTLGRP(FULLWTHSYS) SBMJOB(*CONSOLE)

Are you saying you replaced that with CALL MYCLPGM and it did it all? As
in that CL program has 2 STRBKUBRM commands in it? That can't be, I don't
think, because restricted state will kill your CL program. And you're much
smarter than that so I'm obviously not understanding something.:)
