What aggregate backup assist produces

ABA produces a selection data set consisting of one ABARS INCLUDE statement specifying all of the data set names found during analysis of the SMF records. The data set names are specified in three sections delimited by block comments: cataloged DASD data sets, cataloged tape data sets, and uncataloged data sets. The data set names in each section are sorted in alphabetical order.

Recommendation: Before you issue the ABACKUP command that uses the selection data set that has been created, you should edit the selection data set to delete the names of uncataloged data sets.
