Re: RE: end of tape operation on backup

[John Cirocco <JCirocco@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Bob,

There is also an interface into the backup program   Check out command CHGBCKUP 
and the last parm is the name of an interface program.  You can specify *BEFORE 
or *AFTER backup functions within the CL.  I do a CHGCMD before and after to 
make changes to the defauls.  Works like a champ and you can do so many other 
things.  I can send you a copy of a sample program I use on my development 
system if you would like...

John

  Subject: end of tape operation on backup

  We use the 400's backup tasks menu to automate/schedule our
backups.  However we would like to change the default end of tape operation
to unload, rather than rewind.  I've looked everywhere I can think of but
have come up empty, thus I turn to those with all the answers.  Does anyone
know how or whether I can accomplish this?  We're still on V3R1 by the way
(any disparaging comments re: still being on V3R1 would just be preaching to
the choir, so please don't bother).  Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
