Explanation

(dsname...) or (dsname/password ...) is a required positional parameter used to specify the name of the data set or list of data set names to be recovered. For dsname, substitute the name of the data set or list of data set names that you want to recover. You can use a data set filter for any dsname in a list. If you specify a list of data sets or one or more filters, each data set is associated with the other parameters specified with the command. Thus a filter and the NEWNAME parameter are not compatible since a filter implies more than one data set to recover.

If you want to recover an uncataloged data set, you must specify its data set name explicitly. For a discussion of how to specify data set names, see Specifying data set names.

For password, substitute the correct password and include the preceding slash (/). TSO does not prompt you for the password.

For a password-protected non-VSAM data set, supply the password that allows you to write to the data set.
For a password-protected VSAM data set:
- If the data set exists, you must supply the current master password of the base cluster.
- If the data set does not exist, you must supply the master password of the base cluster that existed when DFSMShsm backed up the data set.
