The TSM-client brings no messages by making backup of inuse files and probably backups them.
It would be better in a such case only to issue a warning messge about the inuse file (if the backup isn't technical possible) and set rc=1024.

    Yes, please add an option to allow TOLERATE(WRITERS) in hbackup command.

    Or impliment Auto Backup for Unix Files and then the use of SETSYS INUSE(RETRY(Y) with SERIALIZATION(PREFERRED).

    Great to see all of the interest in this enhancement. It is currently under development. Please let me know (wilcock@us.ibm.com) if you are interested in being part of an early test (pre-general availability) of the function. Thanks!

    I think it would be a good idea to add some option to the hbackup command that allows a functionality similar to the TOL(ENQF) of ADRDSSU.
