In an ISPF panel thats lists dataset, if we type a command (E, B, D etc.) against a dataset it performs respective operation on it. Can anyone explain me what happens at this time in the backend (i meant like if we type 'D' a JCL may be get executed at the backend to delete the dataset. Like this I want know the backend operation). I need to create a rexx macro that on issue of a command against a dataset creates a back up of it. Please provide help. |

You can create your own CLIST/REXX to be invoked from option 3.4 dataset list. Name it something like 'BU' and it can either submit a batch job or invoke a foreground command to create a backup, if there is such a thing.
When your 'BU' command is called, the dataset name will be passed as a parameter. For example, here is a CLIST to do a LISTCAT on the 3.4 dataset.
Code: |
PROC 1 ENTRYNM
/* THIS CLIST WILL DISPLAY THE LISTCAT ENTRY SHOWING THINGS LIKE: */
/* ALLOCATIONS, BYTES USED, ETC. USE AS A LINE COMMAND ON 3.4 */
CONTROL NOFLUSH
LISTC ENTRY(&ENTRYNM) ALL |

Use DFHSM to backup datasets automatically. |
