Re: System Save

[MWalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Scott,

This is exactly what I'm looking for. The job in question does run from the
console and our normal system save does an IPL on Friday night anyhow. This
will work. Do I need to pass anything in the two parms?


Thanks,

Mark

Sort-of.   You can certainly load it into a CL program (Option 21 actually
is a CL program) but, the first thing the program does is end all of
the active jobs on the system that aren't running from the system console.
That essentially means that this program will end itself if it's not
running from the console.

You can get the source that's run from Save menu Opt 21 by doing a
RTVCLSRC on the QSYS/QMNSAVE program.
