Re: GO SAVE (NO UNLOAD)

So I managed to figure out how to retrieve the source for GO SAVE and modify the default to leave tape in.

Out of curiosity: Why do you want to leave a tape of a finished backup in?

I would like to make this a more elegant solution perhaps amend the screen file to include and Unload *YES or *NO using some sort of if else condition in the CLP source not sure how best to achieve that though any thoughts guys.

I'm not fluent in CL programming, but on the IBM website, there's plenty about the topic.

When you go to the save menu and choose option 21, there's no point in providing options. One thought: Do a SNDPGMMSG MSGTYPE (*INQ) just before the unload command (chktap?) happens. Depending on the answer, processing within the CL either continues, or you can jump over the next steps (do..enddo around chktap and possible monmsgs) to leave the tape as is.
