Controls dynamically allocated backup data sets. The data set name that is specified is used as a prefix; the default is ENF.ARCHIVE. The time and date of the backup are appended in the form: Dyyddd.Thhmm to the data set name.

The DSNAME prefix for dynamically allocated backup data sets can only be up to 16 characters in length including periods.

ENF.ARCHIVE.BACKUP
