CHECKPOINT Command—Saves SOF Environment

The CHECKPOINT command saves the current SOF environment to a checkpoint data set.

This command has the following syntax:

CHeckpoint  [filespec]

filespec

(Optional) Identifies the file to which the checkpoint data should be written. This may be a DD reference of the form DD:ddname, the partial name of an z/OS data set which will be completed by adding the effective TSO user ID of SOF as a prefix, the name of a file in a mounted HFS or zFS in compatibility mode, or the fully qualified name of an z/OS data set in the form //datasetname. The preferred form is DD:ddname, because the other forms may result in the creation of undesired or unexpected data sets.

If omitted, the checkpoint data will be written to the least recently used checkpoint data set.
