SELECT and EXCLUDE Rule #5

Consistent with rule 4 previous, if you set sysparm SELECTRE to N and specify neither SELECT commands nor EXCLUDE commands, CA Disk will process all user data sets, but neither VTOCS nor VTOC indexes nor catalogs nor VVDSs.

For example,

SCAN REALVOLS

BACKUP

will back up your user data sets, but not your VTOCS nor VTOC indexes nor catalogs nor VVDSs. But,

SCAN REALVOLS

SELECT CATALOGS=/
SELECT VTOCS
SELECT DSNAMES=/

BACKUP

will back up your catalogs, VTOCs and data sets.
