BCSRECOVER facilitates recovery of pre-allocated logical data sets. The BCSRECOVER parameter applies to both RLS and non-RLS catalogs. You must specify one of the following subparameters:

BCSRECOVER(LOCK): specifies a serialized close of user catalogs.
BCSRECOVER(SUSPEND): specifies that access to the catalog is suspended from all systems in the sysplex.

As part of BCSRECOVER processing, DFSMSdss automatically unlocks and resumes the catalog.

Note:

Programs using BCSRECOVER require READ access to RACF FACILTY CLASS resource IGG.CATLOCK.
If a user catalog is locked or suspended using IDCAMS or the MODIFY CATALOG command, the system ignores the BCSRECOVER keyword..
