RE: Option 21 SAVSYS excluding some libraries -- MIDRANGE-L

Your choice is to save everything, in which you can walk away for apredictable time period while the 400 does its thing, or to take the Y inwhich the backup will run for a while then stop with a screen where youhave to do something, then run for a while, then stop with a screen whereyou have to do something, and the first time you won't know how many ofthese halts there will be, or at what time intervals.

So while the 400 is doing its thing, you busy on some other thing, likepaperwork, or studying a program to modify, or whatever, and you look atthe screen every few minutes to see if it has stopped again to wait on someresponse from you. The first time you run thru this, for each screen youwill have to study the documentation, what the heck does this mean, whatchoices make sense.

So figure on the first time you do this, the backup will take 2-3 timeslonger than if you save the whole thing.

I advise you to save the whole darn thing and not take on these additionalheadaches.

Where does this show up on the screen? If I say Y on prompt for
commands, is that how I'll get the screen that lets me type in
the libraries to be omitted?

The libraries to be omitted are put in the OMITLIB parameter.

Hi,

      I have to do an option 21 savsys tonight before a hardware shutdown
and move on Friday.  There are some data libraries

we back up every night and therefore don't need to include in the save.  I
know there's a way to omit libraries from this

backup and you do it by prompting it somehow, but for the life of me I
can't
remember the how to sequence.

Can anyone help me out?

TIA,

Cherie
