BACKUPCC Command Syntax

The syntax of the BACKUPCC command is as follows:

BACKUPCC RETPD=,EXPDT=,NOTOLENQF
RETPD=

By default, data sets are assigned a retention period equal to the value of sysparm RETRETPD. To override the default, specify a one- to five-digit number indicating the number of days the selected data sets are to be retained in the CA Disk archives. The date calculated from this retention period cannot exceed the year 2155. For more information, see the section Year 2000 Considerations in the chapter "General Information" and the sysparm description of EXPDTUSEn in the Systems Guide.

EXPDT=

By default, data sets are assigned a retention period equal to the value of sysparm RETRETPD. To override the default, specify a date constant in any acceptable CA Disk format. For a list of valid dates, see the section Date Formats in the chapter "General Information."

For more information, see the section Year 2000 Considerations in the chapter "General Information" and the sysparm description of EXPDTUSEn in the Systems Guide.

For a more detailed explanation of this parameter, see EXPDT.

NOTOLENQF

By default, selected data sets will be processed even though shared or exclusive access (ENQ) fails. To override the default, specify this parameter so TOL(ENQF) keyword will not be included in the DFSMSdss DUMP command stream.

Note: If multiple BACKUPCC commands are entered, each can have a different RETPD= or EXPDT= value.

Finally, you cannot specify both the RETPD and EXPDT parameters on the same BACKUPCC command.
