Trudie,
I do use the Pre and Post backup commands. The subtle issue I have with the "pre" backup command is that it runs prior to achieving a dedicated mode. I needed the source for the Copy Disk Backup-to-Tape since I created a post-backup command to save some custom libraries using the same method that the scheduled backup was done. If the backup was to disk, the custom program creates save files in the AMSLIB_ and saves the libraries to those save files.

When the user saves the Disk copies to tape, I want to have the program save all the custom libraries as well.

Eric,
Is there a reason why you can't use the pre or post commands available within the MAPICS backup option?

Thanks to all who responded about the source member.

Dale,
I thought about writing a simple CL to perform the SAVSAVFDTA but I always
seem to over complicate things.  Since I want to have a "user" eventually
handle this, I liked the fact that XA already had a procedure in place to
check the tape, give options to initialize, device naming, etc. So, instead,
I am modifying the code to call another program just before the last
savsavfdta or savobj command to perform the same save of the custom
libraries.

Since this program is unlikely to be upgraded (unless OS version causes
changes), I really should not have to worry about PTFs, etc.

Thanks again to all...
Eric
