Backup-Restore Utility (ESFSPTP) › Command Syntax of the EXEC Statement

Command Syntax of the EXEC Statement

The command which must be passed to ESFSPTP in the parameter field of the EXEC statement has the following syntax:

xFALL | xFnnn | xFnnn-mmm                   
  (,SUBSYS=XXXX)                            
  (,D=DESTINATION NAME)                     
  (,O=FILENAME)                             
  (,Q=OUTPUT CLASS)                         
  (,F=FORM NUMBER)                          
  (,C=FCB NAME)                             
  (,EOF=(YES / NO / ONLY))                  
  (,PURGE=(YES / NO))   (Backup only)       
  (,FROMDATE=YY/MM/DD)                      
  (,FROMTIME=HH:MM:SS)                      
  (,TODATE=YY/MM/DD)                        
  (,TOTIME=HH:MM:SS)                        
  (,USERID=XXXXXXXX)                        
  (,GROUP=99999)          (Backup only)     
  (,DUP=(YES / NO))
  (,FORMAT=(F / C))    (Backup Only) 
  (,BACKUP=(MULTI / SINGLE))     (Load only)
  (,ENCRYPT=YES/nnn/NO)  (Backup only)

The first letter in the command identifies the requested function. Replace the x with B for the Backup function or L for the Load function.

The file range is specified in the operation field. If all possible file numbers are to be processed, use the format xFALL.

If a single file or a file sequence-number interval is to be processed, use the format xFnnn or xFnnn-mmm. Replace nnn with the first (or only) file sequence number to be processed, and mmm with the last file sequence number.

The function and the sequence number range are the only parameters required by this utility; the remaining parameters can be used to limit the number of files processed. An exception to this is the SUBSYS parameter, which is used to direct the request to a particular CA Spool system.
