More than 27 include specifications are provided.

After the DCL command procedure “Example2_ABS.COM” is executed, the following ABS
Policy objects are created:
• Archive class: Example2_ABS_SC
• Environment: Example2_ABS_ENV
• Save:
– Example2_ABS_FULL_1
– Example2_ABS_FULL_2
Two Save requests are created for a single DCL command procedure to implement the Save Policy
object. This is because in ABS, a Save request can have a maximum of 24 include specifications.
The remaining include specifications are included in the subsequent Save request that is
created. The first Save request “Example2_ABS_FULL_1” executes the backup for all the 24
include specifications. The next Save request “Example2_ABS_FULL_2” executes the backup
for the remaining three include specifications.
Note
The conversion utility had a limit of 9 include specification for a single Save request.
This limit is removed in ABS/MDMS T4.4 conversion utility to combine the 24 include
specifications in a single Save request. Currently ABS/MDMS supports 24 include
specifications in a Save request.
