Hi,
FDR can back up an uncataloged data set. Since it's uncataloged, you
need to inform FDR where the data set is via a DISKn DD statement (you
cannot use CATDSN= to search the catalog to find it). Thus, JCL similar
to this, or refer to examples in section 20.10.
If you have questions, please contact us [email protected].
//DUMPDSN EXEC PGM=FDRDSF,REGION=0M
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//DISK1 DD UNIT=SYSALLDA,DISP=OLD,VOL=SER=vvvvvv
//TAPE1 DD UNIT=TAPE,DSN=tape.backup,DISP=(,KEEP),RETPD=nn
//SYSIN DD *
DUMP TYPE=DSF
SELECT DSN=data.set.name

We use FDR and I was trying to backup a PDSE.

What tool are you using for "normal" backup and recovery? Doesn't this

Do you want the backup version to be part of your backup and recovery
system or are you looking to have a recovery method independent of your
normal system? If so, why?
You implied there is only one dataset of interest. Is this correct? If
not, how many? Is there a convenient way to identify them (naming
convention, segregated to special packs, etc)? What types of datasets
(sequential, PDS, PDSE (with or without program objects), VSAM)?
There are lots of tools that can copy or dump datasets. The correct one
depends on what your objective is.

Subject: Backup of Uncatalogued dataset
Hello,
I am looking for a sample JCL on backing up the uncatalogued dataset
alone.
Is there anyone who have a working JCL ?
