I agree with "don't cancel" as many bad things can and do happen.
When you hold RECYCLE, it will finish the tape it is currently recycling, and if I'm not wrong, it will finish the entire volume chain (if the volume was part of a chain). Try HOLD RECYCLE EOD instead as it will hold at the end of the current dataset. Audit is another long-running function that can also hold up CDS Backups. I'm not sure if HOLD AUDIT EOD helps, but I generally add EOD to everything just to be sure. Yes, CDS backups are the first thing AUTOBACKUP does...SSM does not kick off any CDS bkups. ...LDO ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
