To restore a data set to a non-SMS-managed target volume, you can use the NULLSTORCLAS and BYPASSACS keywords on the RESTORE command. If you use these keywords, the data set is placed on a non-SMS-managed volume, regardless of whether the source data set was SMS-managed.

Extended-format data sets cannot be restored to non-SMS-managed target volumes during a physical or logical data set restore.

Data sets with DFM attributes (created by Distributed FileManager) can be restored to non-SMS-managed target volumes but the DFM attributes will be lost and a warning message will be issued.

For information about DFM, see z/OS DFSMS DFM Guide and Reference.
