TERMINAL: Requesting that volume recovery messages appear at the terminal

Explanation: TERMINAL is an optional parameter requesting that volume recovery messages be sent to the system console and to the backup activity log when DFSMShsm recovers a volume.

Defaults: If you do not specify TERMINAL when you want to recover a volume, DFSMShsm sends the output only to the backup activity log.

Note: TERMINAL applies only to volume recovery. In addition, you must issue the TERMINAL parameter of the RECOVER command from the system console. If you specify TERMINAL when it does not apply, DFSMShsm ignores it.
