Rob, I will not disagree that a customer written program is not subject to constant review and update as PTFs and/or upgrades are done. However a customer written back up is superior to the save options being discussed since IBM has not, nor will not update/enhance them. Critically if the customer does not completely understand what is being backed up and when, a recovery becomes at best problematic if not impossible due to missing objects.

I differ. I often question home grown back up programs before IBM
supplied utilities. After all, how many shops probably ran for awhile
using programs that didn't have the stream file save of just SAV after
that was introduced? How many shops probably still don't realize that
ENDSBS *ALL doesn't kill all of TCP/IP any more and you really should run
ENDTCP -before- running the ENDSBS?
