Managing Jobs
Specifying a Space Character
A backslash followed by a space is interpreted as a space character. Space is the octal
character code 40. These examples are equivalent:
"/x/space delimited dirname"
/x/space\ delimited\ dirname
"/x/space\ delimited\ dirname"
/x/space\0040delimited\0040dirname
"/x/space\0040delimited\0040dirname"
The escape sequences are treated identically when the path name is enclosed in
double quotes, although it is not necessary to escape the spaces.

Creating Jobs
To create a job, use the BRCOM BACKUP or BRCOM RESTORE command.
Handling Operations That Use the BRCOM Terminal
These operations use the BRCOM terminal:

Backup or restore jobs for Enscribe or SQL/MP files that are forwarded to the
BACKUP and RESTORE utilities (T9074)

Backup or restore jobs for OSS or SQL/MX files that specify the LISTALL,
LISTONLY, or WAIT job options
If you use the OUT job option to specify an output destination other than the current
terminal, the BRCOM prompt is returned immediately. If you do not use the OUT job
option, the BRCOM prompt is not returned until the operation using the terminal is
finished. This is regardless of whether you specified the WAIT job option.
If you specify the WAIT job option with the ON option, the BRCOM prompt is not
returned until the operation using the terminal is finished.
