How to Create a Backup Copy of Your Global Variables (Option 7.5)

Use OPSVIEW option 7.5 to create a backup copy of your global variables. When you use this option, CA OPS/MVS generates an output data set containing REXX assignment statements for your existing global variables.

Important! This option is not intended to be the primary mechanism for backing up global variables, nor is it capable of backing up RDF tables. Use option 7.5:

• To perform ad hoc and partial backups
• To transfer global variables from one stem to another by editing the resulting OPS/REXX program

For details about the recommended global variable backup and restore facility that includes RDF tables, see the Administration Guide.
