FORCE


>>-+-------+---------------------------------------------------><
   '-FORce-'

For a logical data set restore operation, FORCE specifies that DFSMSdss allows an unmovable data set or a data set allocated by absolute track allocation to be moved.

Note:

Use the EXCLUDE keyword with the FORCE keyword when you are restoring data sets that have location-dependent data. Naming these data sets in the EXCLUDE list prevents DFSMSdss from restoring them even when you specify the FORCE keyword.
Specify the FORCE keyword with the REPLACE or REPLACEUNCONDITIONAL keyword if you want to restore the data from unmovable data sets whose extents do not match.
