Re: More automated backup

It does work if you define separate variables for different libraries and put
the variables as values for the list parameter

SAVLIB LIB(&LIB1 &LIB2 &LIB3) .............

Concatenation of the variables
SAVLIB LIB(&LIB1 *CAT &LIB2 *CAT &LIB3). . . . . . . . . . . gives the same
function check

Loyd,

You're trying to plug a single variable into a list. Why not just plug
constants into the command? You could define a separate variable for each
library, or you could concatenate the whole command into a single alpha
variable and pass it to QCMDEXC, which
will parse it back into its constituent parts before executing the command.
