INSTRUCTION: Recovering the instruction data set

Explanation: INSTRUCTION is an optional parameter to recover the instruction data set if one exists on the output tape for the specified aggregate group at the backup site.

Specify the INSTRUCTION parameter the first time ARECOVER is executed for a given aggregate group. Specifying INSTRUCTION with the EXECUTE, VERIFY, or PREPARE parameters causes recovery of the instruction data set, if one exists. If the instruction data set does not exist on the ABACKUP output tapes and INSTRUCTION is specified, an error message is issued and ARECOVER processing continues.

Refer to the Aggregate backup and recovery support (ABARS) for the information contained in the instruction data set.

Defaults: None.
