Bypassing backup-while-open processing (OY63531)

When DFSMSdss encounters a data set marked as backup-while-open (BWO) eligible, DFSMSdss processes it accordingly. If the BWO indication is on erroneously, the BWO processing may be bypassed for a logical data set dump.

This function is affected by setting the flag at offset X'15' in ADRPATCH. The settings are listed below:

X'00': BWO processing is performed.
Any setting other than X'00': BWO processing is bypassed.

To set the flag to on dynamically, use the SET PATCH command. To set the flag to on permanently, modify the sample JCL (see Sample JCL) as follows:

//SYSIN DD *
   NAME ADRDSSU ADRPATCH
   VER   15        00
   REP   15        FF
