I solved the problem using GREP, an IBM utility on public mdisk. Anyone running VM should probably have it. Once the VMBACKUP report file is received on rdr, it is received onto the a disk. GREP can then search that file for a particular string within certain columns. VMBACKUP lists all userids and their mdisks along with a note in the report. GREP will extract any occurrences of VMBXC...E (the E at the end means that the mdisk was NOT backed up). I then instructed the exec to send me a note warning me that certain mdisks were not backed up. GREP can also write the records in a file, tag later records at the end of it, etc. Very versatile. Thanks to everyone who put some time on this. Paul Lavoie at National Research Council, Ottawa, Ont.
