Gregory,

We do the same thing for one of our clients.  Although the job stream
listed below is only for one database, it can be expanded to do multiple
ones very easily.  They have MPEX, so we use it.  The -GB file is so the
user won't get a message about not being able to copy the file due to
multiple file access (the database is open for read access at the time it
is copied).  We also created a user BATCH (see below) who has AM capability
(for copying databases) and no IA capability, so users can't sign on as
BATCH.  The streaming of the file is done via a function key within the
program.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Judy
