The following is a description of the fields of panel DFQDCAG5, and the entries that are made for the example system:

The ABACKUP CONTROL DATASET field generates a DATASETNAME(dsname) parameter.
Enter 'PAY1.C.C01V0001' in this field
The XMIT field indicates whether the ABACKUP files were independently transmitted to the ARECOVER site.
Enter N in this field.
The STACK / NOSTACK field indicates whether the ABACKUP output files were stacked on a minimum number of tapes, or not.
Enter N in this field.
The AGGREGATE GROUP NAME field generates an AGGREGATE(agname) parameter.
Leave this field blank.
The DATE field generates a DATE(yyyy/mm/dd) parameter.
Leave this field blank.
The VERSION field generates a VERSION(nnnn) parameter.
Leave this field blank.
The PROCESSING OPTION field allows you to place either the PREPARE, VERIFY, or EXECUTE parameters in the ARECOVER command. A 1 generates the PREPARE parameter, a 2 generates the VERIFY parameter, and a 3 generates the EXECUTE parameter.
Enter a 3 in this field.
The WAIT FOR COMPLETION field, if Y is entered, generates an HSEND WAIT ARECOVER command, and the terminal is locked until the ARECOVER command completes. If N is entered, this field generates an HSEND ARECOVER command, and the terminal remains unlocked.
Enter Y in this field.
The TARGET GDG DATA SET STATUS field allows you to specify the status to which you want an SMS-managed generation data set returned. You can specify A for ACTIVE, D for DEFERRED, R for ROLLEDOFF, S for SOURCE, or leave the field blank. SOURCE indicates that you want the data set returned to the status it had when it was backed up. A blank will cause value specified by the SETSYS ARECOVERTGTGDS to be used, or its default value of SOURCE.
Leave this field blank.
The VOLUME COUNT field allows you to specify A for ANY, N for NONE, or a blank. If ANY is specified, the VOLCOUNT(ANY) parameter is passed to DFSMSdss during the restore, which results in the allocation of the target data set on as many volumes as required, up to a maximum of 59 volumes. If NONE is specified, the DFSMSdss VOLCOUNT parameter is not passed to DFSMSdss during the restore. If the field is left blank, the value specified by the SETSYS ABARSVOLCOUNT parameter, or its default value of NONE, is used.
Leave this field blank.
The RECOVER INSTRUCTION DATA SET field, when Y is entered, generates the INSTRUCTION parameter. If AGGREGATE GROUP NAME is specified with the PREPARE option, either the RECOVER INSTRUCTION DATA SET field, the RECOVER ACTIVITY LOG field, or both must be used.
Enter N in this field.
The RECOVER ACTIVITY LOG field, when Y is entered, generates the ACTIVITY parameter.
Enter Y in this field.
The RECOVER INDIVIDUAL DATASET field specifies whether you want to recover an individual data set or a group of data sets from the backup copy of an aggregate group.
Enter N in this field.
