Use the RECOVER statement to recover deleted members of a PDS data set.

The recovery process is performed by order of most recently stored (and deleted) members.

The output data set must be PDS.

Each recovered member gets an 8-character name like 9Ztttttt, where:
  • 9Z are first 2 characters
  • tttttt are 6 hexadecimal digits of member's first data block location (TTR)

A recovered member may be subsequently manipulated like any other member of the PDS data set.

Note: Previously deleted members cannot be recovered after a COMPRESS operation.
