The following example shows how to select the backup version information for data sets from a set of volumes:

BCDS_VERSION,
 FROMVOL(SMS00*), SORT(FROMVOL,A,DSN,A), ORDER(FROMVOL,DSN,BACKAGE,BACKDATE,BACKTIME)

In this example:

  • A filter is used with the FROMVOL data output field name to select information for data sets that resided on DASD volumes with a volume serial starting with SMS00.
  • SORT report option keyword sorts the report in ascending order by FROMVOL and data set name.
  • ORDER report option keyword builds the report by using the FROMVOL followed by the data set name, backup age, date, and time.
