Hi,

I have a Backup job which backs up all available files starting with A.**. This obviously means that it is backing up the same files agaian and again which is often resulting in abend (ABEND=S000 U0008). Is there any way to filter out using INCLUDE/EXCLUDE commands so that I do not take the same backups again and again. This will save DASD and TAPE resources as well.

Thanks

Thanks for the link Kolusu. From the docuemnt I found out that I can use the following SYSIN card

DS(INCL(A.**) -
BY(DSCHA EQ YES)) -

What I would like to know is whether there is any way to check the DSCHA value for a dataset? DSCHA stands for Dataset changed. So if a new dataset comes in it will ideally have DSCHA to YES ( should be some 1 bit indicator) Similarly an existing dataset which has been changed since last backup will also have DSCHA set to yes.

Thanks
