PB Statement

<PB statement>

── PB ─┬──────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────►
       └─ <system/backup parameters> ─┘
►─┬───────────────────────────────┬─┬────────────────────────┬─────────┤
  └─ [ ── <task identifier> ── ] ─┘ └─ <task equation list> ─┘

Explanation

The PB statement initiates the SYSTEM/BACKUP utility, which can be used to print backup files. The PB statement passes the system/backup parameters to SYSTEM/BACKUP; no analysis is done by the WFL compiler. The syntax of the <system/backup parameters> is described in the Printing Utilities Operations Guide.

When this statement is entered from the ODT, it must be preceded by a question mark (?) to differentiate it from the PB (Print Backup) system command.

The optional task equation list can be used to assign attributes to the SYSTEM/BACKUP task. For details, refer to Task Equation.
