I have made 2 minor changes to the RSCSBKUP EXEC. Duane Weaver has told me how to handle RSCSV2 messages (I do not have it), so there is now a commented block of code to handle RSCSV2. He also made the suggestion to improve performance of the EXEC by querying the userid instead of the system for a spool file, this does help. RSCSBKUP EXEC is available from LISTSERV@BUACCA via the GET command. - Michael Gettes, Boston University [log in to unmask] (617) 353-2780 (USA)
