Thanks David. I guess I am stuck coding 63 steps. I cannot risk backing up via catalog just in case..... Thanks for your help.

In other words, if all your HFC.** datasets reside on SYSxxx volumes and are catalogued then the following should work for you: //JOB3 JOB accounting information,REGION=nnnnK //STEP1 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU //TAPE DD UNIT=3480,VOL=SER=TAPE04, // LABEL=(1,SL),DISP=(NEW,CATLG),DSN=USER3.BACKUP //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A //SYSIN DD * DUMP OUTDD(TAPE) - DS(INCL(HFC.**)) /* Have to give credit where it's do. FDR has the advantage when accessing groups of volumes. -----Original Message----- From: John Dawes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 8:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: DFDSS Question I have about 60 volumes, and I need to perform a selective dataset backup on all of those volumes. Does DFDSS allow to code a generic volume name? For example the volsers start in SYSxxx and I want to backup only HFC.** dsns. I know this is possible using the FDR command : MOUNT VOLG=SYS. If a generic name is not possible, is there another way instead of creating a backup step for each volume? Thank You all. You all have been a great help to me in the past. --------------------------------- On Yahoo!7 360°: Your own space to share what you want with who you want! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html --------------------------------- On Yahoo!7 360°: Your own space to share what you want with who you want! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
