Just for fun I asked ChatGPT your question and here is its answer - ymmv: --------------------------------------------------------------
Storage systems. The specific syntax for the FlashCopy command to copy a dataset on IBM storage will depend on the storage system and software that you are using. Here is an example of the FlashCopy command syntax for an IBM DS8000 storage system: Copy code FlashCopy SOURCE dataset_name TARGET copy_dataset_name In this command, replace "dataset_name" with the name of the source dataset that you want to copy, and replace "copy_dataset_name" with the name you want to give to the copy of the dataset. -------------------------------------------------------------- Lionel B.

But I was looking for copying by dataset name to a created backup dataset. Also, to be able to specify a list of datasets to one backup dataset. We used to do this with EMCSNAP. But we have moved from EMC dasd to IBM. thanks Bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
