I have made a request to change the option to use TAPE(TASKS(1)). It seems that this problem has been always there - inherited it from a client who came on board 2 years ago. If I get the green light from the client, I will change the TAPE(TASKS to (1) and issued the RELEASE BACKUP(DSCOMMAND). Do I need to hard the command in the PARMLIB?

Are you saying that the problem is now fixed? What did you do? What changes did you make? And, for the curious among us: What caused dataset backup to be held in the first place? A dataset too big for disk backup or lack of ML1 space?

IMHO ... Yes, but ... What if a dataset backup request exceeds 850MB or the max. space available on a single ML1 disk? Since you don't allow tape to be used for backups, this will cause an error and your dataset backups will be held again. My recommendation is to first change your configuration to allow one (or more) tape backup tasks and then release backup.

I will take a closer look at this option. Since the DATASET BACKUP option is held, can I assume if I issue the RELEASE BACKUP(DSCOMMAND), the datasets will be backed up to ML1 DASD since the TAPE(TASKS is set to (0). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 __________________________________________________________________ Be smarter than spam.
