I've used it several times at a past employer. It works fine IIRC but it is not a pure incremental backup -- if the data set has changed, it will be copied / dumped in its entirety (not just changed records). I seem to recall the syntax being a little tricky -- DUMP DS(INCL(A.**) BY((DSCHA,EQ,YES)) <other options>); I'm not sure why the double parentheses were needed.
