  • DD names that start with prefixes FABJ, ICE$, and HKT have special meaning to IMS HP Image Copy. Do not use DD statements with these prefixes except for the DD statements that are listed in DD statements for the Recovery function.

The following restrictions apply to using the Recovery function with the FABJMAIN program:

  • The Recovery function can recover only one DBDS in one execution. The function cannot recover multiple DBDSs in one DBD.
