Summary Report Still Being Printed When Specifying N in GO BACKUP Setup

Troubleshooting


Problem

When using Operational Assistant Backup (GO BACKUP), and changing the settings to not print the Detailed report, a report is still being printed.

Resolving The Problem

When using Operational Assistant Backup (GO BACKUP), and changing the settings to not print the Detailed report, a report is still being printed. This option is used to specify to print the detailed report or not. If this is set to no (N) a summary report will still be printed. This is documented in the help text of the CHGBKUP command. 

When issuing a CHGBCKUP and looking at the help text for Print detailed report (PRTRPT) , it states the following:

    Print detailed report (PRTRPT) - Help       
                                                      
Specifies whether a detailed list of saved objects is 
printed.  A summary report is always printed.         
*YES                                                     
    A detailed list of saved objects and a summary report
    are printed.                                         
*NO                                                
    A summary report is printed.                   


When issuing GO BACKUP Option 10, Option 1/2/3, and then F1 on Print detailed report, the help text states the following:

If Yes is specified, a listing of what is saved during the
backup is created.                                        
                                                          
If No is specified, the listing is not created.     

This is basically stating the exact same thing as the help text for the CHGBCKUP command.
