RECOVER

Syntax

Parameters

OUTDD=DDname

Specifies the DDname of the target PDS data set.

OUTDSN={DSname|(DSname,SHR)|(DSname,OLD)}

Specifies the DSname of the cataloged target PDS data set. {SHR|OLD} specifies the disposition of the dynamically allocated data set. When this parameter is omitted, the default from the "OUTDISP=" EXEC PARM field applies. When both are omitted SHR is used.

NUMBER={nnnnn|ALL}

Specifies the number of deleted members to be recovered. The nnnnn value is specified as a decimal number between 0 and 99999 or the word ALL. A 0 is treated as an omitted parameter. ALL applies to all deleted members. When this parameter is omitted, the default from the NUMBER= EXEC PARM field applies. When both are omitted, one deleted member is recovered.

LIST={YES|NO}

Specifies whether the names of the recovered members are to be listed in the SYSPRINT data set. When this parameter is omitted, the default from the EXEC PARM field applies.

LIST=ALL

Same as LIST=YES with additional member pre-filtering related messages.

LIST=ONLY

Same as LIST=YES.

Usage notes

• Either OUTDD or OUTDSN keywords must be specified, but together they are mutually exclusive.
• Previously deleted members cannot be recovered after a COMPRESS operation.
• The recovery process is performed by order of most recently saved (and deleted) members.
• Each recovered member gets an 8 character name of the format <9Ztttttt; where tttttt is a 6 digit (hexadecimal) location address (i.e., TTR) of the first data block of the member.
• Recovered members can be subsequently manipulated like any other members in the PDS data set.
