I had expected that this control group, when run as a batch job in the controlling subsystem, would give similar results to GO SAVE-->21. During a recent upgrade, I had two different vendors who could not use the BRMS *SYSTEM save because expected labels needed during the restore process were not present.

Some details:

* A Job Schedule Entry calls a CL that runs in the controlling subsystem,

* The called CL:

o Holds some ERP job queues,

o Shuts down our ERP package,

o Runs STRBKUBRM CTLGRP(MONTHLY) SBMJOB(*NO) MEDCLS(ULTRIUM7)

o "MONTHLY" is a copy of the standard *SYSTEM BRMS backup control group. There are no additional exits, backup items, or omit lists on this copy. It *looks* like *SYSTEM, with the following sequence:

? *EXIT

? *SAVSYS

? *IBM

? *ALLUSR

? *ALLDLO

? *LINK

? *EXIT

The question is: would an experienced user expect the standard *SYSTEM control group to create a tape that is the equivalent of GO SAVE-->21 run manually? Can such a feat be accomplished?
