FORCENONSMS: Recovering an SMS-managed data set to a non-SMS-managed volume

Explanation: FORCENONSMS is an optional parameter that forces a data set to be recovered to a non-SMS-managed volume. Use this parameter if SMS is not active or if SMS is active and you need to return a data set to non-SMS-managed status.

Defaults: None.
Note:
  1. If SMS is not active, a recover request for an SMS-managed data set fails unless the FORCENONSMS parameter is specified on the RECOVER command.
  2. A non-SMS target volume must be known to DFSMShsm to complete the request. This can be obtained through:
    • The TOVOLUME and UNIT parameters if the data was backed up as SMS.
    • The volume from which the data set was backed up if backed up as non-SMS.
    • The volume from which the data set migrated if migrated as non-SMS.
