John,

As you can see by the confusion of some people as to what is included in a
SAVSYS, and,
by the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality of some people who are
still using their pre IFS backup programs,
I can see why IBM encourages a GO SAVE option 21.

Biggest problems I have with GO SAVE 21 are:
- the lack of logging of times on each step (see earlier comments on V6R1
- STRSBS at the end. Most times I do an IPL afterwards and I sure don't
want to do that. Also, I almost never prompt for commands. What a time
waster if you leave the room between steps.
