The following steps present an example of how to use the HBACKDS
line operator to back up data sets. In our example, we have used USER20.ISMF.JCL
as a sample data set name.
- Generate a data set list as explained in Methods of performing tasks.
- Enter the HBACKDS line operator in the line operator column next
to USER20.ISMF.JCL as shown in Figure 1.

The HBACKDS entry panel appears.
- Complete the HBACKDS entry panel as shown in Figure 2. You may choose to use a TARGET option
or leave the field blank. Likewise, you may choose to use a concurrent
copy option or leave the field blank. Specify Y in the Wait for
Completion field if you want to wait for HBACKDS to complete before
you return to ISMF.

Target . . . . . . . . . . . . . (D=DASD, T=TAPE or blank)
Concurrent copy . . . . . . . . (P, R, S, VP, VR, CP, CR or blank)
For P, R, VP, VR, CP or CR,

Note: Dataset Password ignored when in ADMIN mode.
Use ENTER to Perform Hbackds;
Use HELP Command for Help; Use END Command to Exit.
- Press ENTER to perform the backup and redisplay the list (see Figure 3).
The asterisk next to the HBACKDS in the line operator column indicates
that the backup was successful if you specified wait for completion=Y,
or that the backup task was successfully issued to DFSMShsm if you specified wait
for completion=N.
