Example 1—Typical Backup Examples

To illustrate the flexibility of DSCL BACKUP processing, some examples of typical use are provided.

The first example provides the command and entries necessary to accomplish the following:

• Archive, scratch and uncatalog all data sets on volume TEMPVS that are 14 days old.
• Scratch and uncatalog all data sets on all volume serials beginning with the letters DATA that are either uncataloged or have not been used in 30 days.
• Scratch and uncatalog all data sets on any volume being scanned that have not been used in 360 days.
• Test the actual run in simulation mode.

  //jobname JOB (acct,info),etc.
  //         EXEC DMS
  //SYSIN     DD  *
  SET MODE=SIMULATE
  SCAN REALVOLS
  SELECT VOL=TEMPVS,CRI=(USEDT,LT,TODAY-14)
    ARCHIVE
  SELECT VOL=DATA/,CRI=(CATSTAT,NE,YES)
  SELECT VOL=DATA/,CRI=(USEDT,LT,TODAY-30)
  SELECT CRI=(USEDT,LT,TODAY-360)
     DELETE
  

• The SET MODE=SIMULATE command is used to cause processing to be simulated. It can easily be removed after it has been verified that the desired results are being obtained.
• The VOL parameters are used to confine the processing to volume serials beginning with the letters specified.
