diskette must be
an
exact match of the source disk.
If
they do not
exactly match, the
JCl
aborts.
Also, note that the parameters Q =
Nand
ABS are specified. Both are
necessary. The Q
=N parameter causes the computer to use the
default of PASSWORD for the master password, by passing the
"Master Password" prompt. The ABS parameter ensures that no
prompt appears if the destination diskette contains data.
The pause after the format statement allows you to check whether or
not the format is successful.
If
the destination diskette
is
properly
formatted, press
(ENTER)
to continue the JCL.
After you press
(ENTER)
in
response to the seconds pause, the backup
takes place. When the backup completes, the comment line appears,
and the DO
* command executes. The command causes the
SYSTEM/JCl
file to execute. Realize that since this is a repeating
JCl,
the compilation phase cannot be skipped.
If
tracks are locked out during the format, press
(BREAK).
Pressing
(BREAK)
aborts the
JCl,
and you have to restart the
JCl
file,
Important: Be aware that if BACKUP or FORMAT
is
being executed
by a
JCl
file, the following rules apply:
1.
If the backup
is
mirror image, the source and destination disk Disk
ID's must be the same or the backup aborts.
2.
Backups with the (X) parameter, single-drive backups, and
backups with the (QUERY) parameter are not allowed.
3.
Single-drive formats are not allowed.
