Backup object lists can be used as library lists. Library lists can be useful to assure the libraries in the list are being saved using the same save-while-active attributes.
You can create a library list by first creating a backup object list as described in Creating an Object List. For each library or generic library name you enter for Library , also specify *ALL for Object, Type and Member.
When the list is run as part of a backup, BRMS will start with the first entry in the list and group subsequent entries which specify *ALL for Object, Type and Member into a single save command until it reaches an entry where *ALL is not specified for Object, Type and Member, or until the number of libraries exceeds the limit of the Library (LIB) parameter of the Save Library (SAVLIB) command. Normal backup object list processing occurs for entries where *ALL is not specified for Object, Type and Member. Library list processing resumes with the next subsequent entry where *ALL is specified for Object, Type and Member.
