Hi,
As a part of my assignment i am trying to take Dump of some datasets ans place that in a DASD.
Is that Possible with FDRABR (and my target is DASD only not tapes) ?
If FDRABR is not the exact utility to take dump of a dataset, Please suggest me what FDR utility to use? |

Pgm FDRDSF is used for simple dataset backup and restore.
FDRABR is the archive/recall utility similar to DFSMS HSM and requires supporting data files (archive index, etc.) |

Hi Bill,
Is there any manual or doc that has the description abt the FDR utilities?
I googled and I could not find any. It will be really useful if u share any links that u use to refer abt FDR |

| You can contact the vendor at www.fdr.com and get their copyrighted documentation -- as long as your site has a license for the software. |

BOOKMANAGER DOCUMENTATION
Innovation user manuals are available in IBM BookManager format on CD-ROM. This CD-ROM also contains ADOBE PDF-format files of the user manuals so that you can print your own copy of the manuals on a PC- or network-connected laser printer.
One copy of this CD-ROM is available to each licensed installation at no additional charge. E-mail your request to Innovation for your copy of the CD-ROM sales@fdrinnovation.com.

You'd think that someone onsite who supports FDR would have that CD-ROM. |

I agree, but having a CD rom there in onsite is of no use to me as of now.
A weblink or Doc will be useful.
Anyhow Thanks for the help |

Unfortunately IDP only allow their documentation to be accessed by their clients.
Also because of copyright laws it may be illegal for someone else to send you a copy.
You will need to contact some one at your site and see if maybe there are (a) Hardcopies or (b) Online availability which you can access from your computer.
I suppose that you could allways try DFdss which has freely available documentation and is generally available with the DFSMS base product which is almost certainly installed on your mainframe. |

Thanks Bill I have taken a Dump of a dataset using FDRDSF.
I have one more doubt here, I have 3 files A, B, C in three different volumes Vola, VolB, VolC resp. I want to dump these files into a single file. is that possible using FDRDSF?
or I have to use some other utility? |

Hi,
it's a long long time ago since I used FDRDSF, but I'm sure that you can dump multiple files residing across different volumes.

The documentation will help if you get a copy.
You can use CATDSN= to identify the datasets from multiple volumes in a single dump. |
