Bill-

Why would you EVER want a $stdlist from your system backup to delete?  Don't
you review it every day?

If you are worried about how long it would be because of the "SHOW", do a
file equation for SYSLIST with a priority that prevents it from printing.

Here's one for you all - it is a bit of a mystery and doesn't occur all the
time.

Somes when I perform a backup the progress shows that it is ending 10x
faster than normal - Perhaps to get to the bottom I will have to keep the
$STDLIST - I would "assume" that some process is keeping some files open
when the :STORE starts?

Last night the backup was "finished" in 2 minutes when it normally takes 40.
So I started it again and it ran normally. Nothing else changed in the
equation which makes this a bit interesting.

everyone is logged off the system but the operator console.

Here's my job stream: (looking at the jobstream there are no errors
(CIERROR)

!JOB backupNN,MGR/*****.BRANDT/*****OUTCLASS=,1;INPRI=8
!CONTINUE

20   (This gets out of the menu that comes up)

!RESET @

!file t;dev=tape

!STORE @[log in to unmask],@[log in to unmask]@[log in to unmask]@.SYS;*T;DIRECTORY;SHOW;PROGRESS

!IF CIERROR = 0

!SET STDLIST=DELETE

!ENDIF !EOJ



I will start saving the $STDLIST  regardless of CIERROR and report - just
wondering if anyone has come across this before - it is a 917 with C.55.07 .
