Kevin,
It puts a 'T' to tell (fool) MAPICS that you have backup the MAPICS disk 
savefile to tape.  When you run a backup to disk and try another on, it asks if 
you want to replace the current one. This way MAPICS does not send message you 
the message. Then we clear the backup library (AMSLIB) and we are ready for the 
next day.

Here is a copy of the CL we use. This is scheduled to run early morning.
This set/resets everything so no action is required
and mapics is ready for next dave to disk. You could also run this
interactively from a memu option.
                                                    
 DSPPGMMSG  MSG('***AMSLIB SAVE STARTED')           
 CHGDTAARA  DTAARA(AMFLIB/ZSVCTL (8 1)) VALUE('T')  
 SAVLIB     LIB(AMSLIB) DEV(TAP02) ENDOPT(*LEAVE)   
 MONMSG     MSGID(CPF3794) EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(TAPERR))
 CLRLIB     LIB(AMSLIB) /* */                       
 DSPPGMMSG  MSG('***MSM001 (AMSLIB) SAVE ENDED')    
        
TAPERR is a message break for the system operatior.
                                            
Willie..

The disk backup-to-tape is not a dedicated function. That is one of the
advantages of running it to disk - it should take a lot less time and you do
not have to worry about a tape "failure" in the middle of the night.  If you
have any tape problems, you would be there to handle them.
