However, if you don't absolutely have to use DFSMSdss, DFSMShsm *does* allow wildcards and will backup files in a directory subtree. Available in z/OS 2.3 with PTFs or in the base from 2.4 onwards. Andrew Wilt of IBM did a very complete presentation at the last GSE virtual conference on the topic. Regards On Thu, 11 Aug 2022 at 20:07, Michael Babcock <[email protected]> wrote: > I agree.
