The following steps present an example of how to use the HRECOVER
line operator to recover a cataloged data set. In our ISMF panel example,
we have used USER20.SAMPLE.DATASET as a sample data set name.
- Generate a list of data sets as described in Methods of performing tasks.
- Enter the HRECOVER line operator in the line operator column next
to USER20.SAMPLE.DATASET as described in Figure 1.

The HRECOVER entry panel appears.
- Complete the HRECOVER entry panel as described in Figure 2 through Figure 7.
Up to six panels can be displayed. In each panel, the backup version,
date and time of the backup are displayed as two lists with headers.
Note: Retained
backup versions are not displayed on these panels. Use the DFSMShsm
HLIST DSNAME (dsname) BCDS command to obtain a complete list of the
active and retained backup copies of this data set. To recover a retained
backup copy, specify the creation date and time of the copy to recover
on page 6 of the ISMF HRECOVER panel, or issue the HRECOVER command
with the DATE and TIME keywords.
