ARECOVERTGTGDS: Passing the TGTGDS parameter to DFSMSdss during restore processing

Explanation: ARECOVERTGTGDS(option) is used to pass to DFSMSdss the TGTGDS parameter. This parameter provides greater flexibility managing SMS-managed generation data sets that are being restored to level 0 DASD.

The valid values for option are as follows:
  • DEFERRED specifies that the target data set is to be assigned the DEFERRED status.
  • ACTIVE specifies that the target data set is to be assigned the ACTIVE status, for example, rolled into the GDG base.
  • ROLLEDOFF specifies that the target data set is to be assigned the ROLLEDOFF status.
  • SOURCE specifies that the target data set is to be assigned the same status as that of the source data set.

SMS relationship: Parameter has the same meaning when applied to SMS-managed or non-SMS-managed DASD volumes or data sets.

SETSYS default: The default is SOURCE.
