DUMP command options

Hi! If I have a DB2 data sharing group that has a well defined naming scheme, is there any effective difference between using: - an IEADMCxx member that identifies the job names to dump with properly placed wildcards and using RO (sys1,sys2,sysx,...),DUMP PARMLIB=xx - an IEADMCxx member

Re: Started task stopping immediately. No error messages.

This. As an automation guy, I've encountered support folks changing PGM= to PGM=IEFBR14 to keep from executing while maintenance is being done, or when they're drafting the change task to retire it. And who do you think the Operations staff calls when they can't get the task to keep running?
