FDRABRP Catalog Report

PRINT CATLG statement

The report generated by the PRINT CATLG statement provides a history of all ABR backups that are presently recorded in the ABR catalog, including: DASD volume ID, generation and cycle number, type and date of backup, backup data set name, copy, file, and volume serial numbers.

PRINT CATLG statement syntax

If the most recent backup for a DASD volume processed by this command was taken more than “nn” days ago, the FDR429 warning message is printed, to warn you that this volume may be accidentally bypassed during ABR backup processing. You can override the return code 12 from the FDR429 message by specifying FDR429=0 on the PRINT CATLG statement.

Default: 7.

Produces a 79-character line formatted for a TSO terminal.

Produces a 121-character line formatted for a printer.

VOL=
VOLG=

Only volumes matching the specified volume serial “VOL=” or volume serial prefix “VOLG=” are selected. Multiple values are specified in parentheses separated by commas.

The FDRABRP program has been functionally stabilized, but is still available; however, a comparable report can be produced with FDREPORT and enhanced with all the features available in FDREPORT and the flexibility to modify the reports as desired.

These FDREPORT examples are found in the JCL library installed with FDR. The member names are EX5304A and EX5304B.

Volume Backup Report

The above report provides the user with ABR Backup information. This list separates all DASD volumes into groups, which include all generations and cycles kept in the ABR catalog for all DASD volumes initialized for ABR processing. This gives the user a hard copy of backup data set names and their tape volume serial numbers.
