CHECKPOINT Command

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

This command has the following format:

CHECKPOINT filespec

filespec

Identifies the file to which to write the checkpoint. This value can be any of the following:

• DD reference of the form DD:ddname
• Partial name of a TSO data set that is completed by adding the effective USERID as a prefix
• Name of a file in a mounted HFS
• Fully qualified name of an MVS data set in the form //'datasetname'

The preferred form is DD:ddname, because other forms sometimes result in the creation of unwanted or unexpected data sets.
